摘要

The present invention provides a process for producing cercosporamide comprising culturing a fungus belonging to the genus Lachnum and/or fungus belonging to the genus Pseudaegerita and recovering cercosporamide from the culture thereof. In addition, the present invention provides cercosporamide acquired according to this production process. Further, the present invention provides novel microorganisms consisting of Lachnum fuscescens SANK 19096, Lachnum calycioides SANK 12497, Lachnum caesaliatum SANK 10906, and Pseudaegerita websteri SANK 11006.
