Abstract

Aspergillus flavipes was grown on Czapek sucrose nitrate medium for two weeks. The peptides from cell free broth (CFB) were separated on Sephadex G-25 column. Some of the peptides showed antimicrobial activities inhibiting 'the growth of fungi and bacteria. The amino acid composition, N-terminal amino acids and isoelectric points of these peptides are also reported.
