DURING the routine examination of a number of cultures of fungi isolated by M L. D. Galloway [1936] from Indian soil, our colleague, Mr G. Smith noticed that the metabolism solution of one of them-an indubitable strain of Aspergillus fumigatus Fresenius-changed from yellowish brown t6 a strong purple colour on making alkaline.We have investigated the reason for this unusual colour change and have shown that it is due to the presence of a hitherto undescribed mould metabolic product which we have called fumigatin.'I6.95
