Hydroxamic Acid from Histoplasma capsulatum That Displays Growth Factor Activity

Wayne R Burt 1, Anthony L Underwood 1, Georgia L Appleton 1
PMCID: PMC244057  PMID: 7294789

Abstract

Growth factor(s) present in a spent liquid medium after culture of the yeast form of Histoplasma capsulatum enhanced both yeast and mycelial growth of nine isolates tested. Hydroxamic acid extracted from the culture fluid displayed growth factor activity.
