Antimicrobial Basidiomycetes

Lambert M, S Kremer, H Anke (1995) Antimicrobial, phytotoxic, nematicidal, cytotoxic, and mutagenic activities of 1-hydroxypyrene, the initial metabolite in pyrene metabolism by the basidiomycete Crinipellis stipitaria. Bull Environ Contam Toxicol 55 251-257. 

As is demonstrated in Table 43. PCMC presents a broad and equalized spectrum of antimicrobial efficacy it covers bacteria (including myobacteria and Pseudo-monades), yeasts and mould producing fungi (exception some wood destroying basidiomycetes). In connection with the application of PCMC as an active ingredient in disinfectants the fact that PCMC is effective against hepatitis B virus, even in the presence of heavy organic contamination, is of special importance.
