Abstract
Gremmeniella abietina was grown on a medium of 10% V-8 juice containing added glucose, and the metabolites produced were isolated by extraction with ethyl acetate or methylene dichloride. Chromatographic separation of the crude metabolites gave a blue compound, a strongly fluorescent compound, a red compound, a dark purple compound, and a yellow compound. The structures of these compounds will be reported, along with some of their biological activities, A comparison of the metabolite spectra of various North American and European strains of G. abietina will be presented.
