Abstract
THE antagonistic effects of Pseudomonas fluorescens were first recorded by Garre1 in 1887. Several reports since have dealt with the biological activity of cultures and extracts of P. fluorescens2. We wish to report the production and purification of these inhibitory substances and the characterization of a metabolite responsible for a significant proportion of the antibacterial activity.
