Abstract

Aspergi11us niger F-580, a potent producer of aminopeptidase M inhibitor, was isolated from the brown spots of plant leaves with a pathological trait. The inhibitory activity was found only in the fungal mat formed by surface culture of Aspergi11us niger F-580, but not in the culture supernatant or cell pellet. The inhibitor was purified from the hot water extract of this fungal mat by using chromatographies on Diaion HP-20, DEAE-cellulose, Sephadex G-l0 and YMC-ODS-AQ columns. The purified inhibitor was analyzed by UV, mass, and NMR spectroscopies, and identified as OF494911, which had been isolated as an aminopeptidase B inhibitor from Penicillium rugulosum OF4949
