A new cyclodipeptide from the cultures of Geotrichum candidum

Abstract A new cyclodipeptide, cyclo(phenylalanyl- N -methyltyrosyl) 1 , was isolated from the mycelial solid cultures of Geotrichum candidum . Its structure was elucidated by spectroscopic methods. The antifungal activity of the new compound against Peronophythora litchii was assessed by microplate Alamar blue assay (MABA).
