Compound 1 (2,3''-dihydroxy-4-methoxy-5'',6-dimethyldiphenyl ether) has been established as the major causative agent of interference competition between Preussia fleischhakii, a fungal colonist of rabbit dung, and two early successional dung colonists, Ascobolus furfuracens and Sordaria fimicola. Compound I was isolated from EtOAc extracts of liquid cultures of P. fleischhakii by Si gel chromatography and reversed-phase hplc and was identified by analysis of 1H-nmr, 13C-nmr, and ms data. The isolation process was guided by in vitro bioassays for antifungal activity against A. furfuraceus and S. fimicola. These results suggest that studies of interference competition observed in relatively unexplored natural fungal communities may be a valuable, ecologically rational approach to the discovery of antifungal agents.
