Article: Effect of metabolic inhibitors on growth and brefeldin A formation in Curvularia lunata

Arsenite as opposed to azide exerted a stronger inhibitory effect on brefeldin A production than on mycelial growth of cultures of Curvularia lunata. However, azide was a more potent inhibitor of mycelial growth than arsenite at 0.5 mM and 1.0 mM. The inhibitory effects of iodoacetate on growth and brefeldin A formation were significantly less potent than those of iosoacetamide. Increases in the levels of fluoride elicited a variable inhibitory effect on brefeldin A production and a corresponding decrease in biomass.
