Abstract
A STRAIN of Aspergillus Terreus (Raistrick and Smith, 1936) yields two metabolic products containing chlorine: geodin (C17H12O7Cl2) and erdin (C16H10O6Cl2). These compounds, crystallizing in fine yellow needles, and melting with decomposition, are the first recorded instances of chlorinated metabolic products of the lower fungi. More recently, the isolation of griseofulvin (C17H17O6Cl) and caldariomycin (C5H8O2C1) (Raistriek et al., 1939; 1940)—chlorinated products of Penicillium Griseofulvin and Caldariomyces Fumago, respectively—has been described.
