The antimicrobial activity of two cyanobacterial exometabolites, norharmane (9H-pyrido(3,4-b)indole) and 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl, was determined in suspension assays. Good anticyanobacterial activities (concentrations of 8-80 microg ml(-1)) and moderate antibacterial (16-160 microg ml(-1)) and antifungal (32-40 microg ml(-1)) activities were found for both

Oxidation of p,p'-biphenol with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-hydrogen peroxide in the presence of bovine serum albumin or with bone marrow cell homogenate-hydrogen peroxide resulted in the formation of reactive products that conjugate with protein. Glutathione prevented the protein binding. Glutathione readily

Extraction of fresh sporophores of the fungus Agaricus xanthodermus yields 4,4'-dihydroxy-azobenzene, phenol, p-quinol, and 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl. This is the first report of an azo compound arising endogenously in nature, while phenol, p-quinol and 4,4'-dihydroxybiphenyl have not previously been isolated from higher
