Fungus Inhibitive Properties of Organic Compounds - Part 1. Hydrocarbons and Their Halides

Abstract

A large number of organic compounds have been assayed for their fungus inhibitive properties by a determination of the growth rate of Aspergillus niger on a nutrient agar containing a know concentration of the substance under study. In this report the behaviors of approximately 130 hydro-carbons, their halides and nitro compounds are described. Though the properties of this group of materials impose certain limitations upon the study, several generalizations regarding the relationships of structure and fungicidal activity appear warranted.
