A pigment, cercosporin, has been isolated in good yield from the cultured mycelia of Cercosporina Kikuchii M. et T., a fungus known as a pathogen of “soy bean purple speck disease.” Its molecular formula is C30H28O10, and the presence of two methoxy, several acidic hydroxyl groups and the quinoid systemhas been established. Conditions for the culture of the fungus and the isolation, purification and general properties of the pigment are described.In 1924 Kikuchi1 showed that the" soy bean purple speck disease" which had been considered to be an hereditary disease, was caused by a fungus belonging to the Cercospora species. In 1925 Matsumoto and Tomoyasu2· 3 confirmed Kikuchi’s observation and the fungus was subsequently named Cercosporina Kikuchii Matsumoto et Tomoyasu. Although pathologicaland agronomical studies of this fungus have been reported, no attention has been paid to the pigments produced. The authors havebeen able to isolate a deep red pigment from the dried mycelia of Cercosporina
