antimicrobial activity using organisms : Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis,
Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus megaterium, Candida albicans,
Aspergillus niger and Tricophyton mentagrophytes on solid media. Chromatographic

contain in common the components responsible for the observed antimicrobial activity
with differences observed in minor bands not of antimicrobial importance. [Continues.]
