Abstract

Antifungal activity of four organic compounds was determined against fungi. Out of these m-chloronitrobenzene and 2, 3-dichloro-5, 6-dicyno- 1, 4-benzoquinone (DDQ) were found most effective at 250 ppm (0.025%), while p-chloroanaline and p-bromobenzene gave satisfactory results. In in vivo testing DDQ showed best results at 0.50 per cent concentration in fat liquor.
