aspergillin Biol.|æspəˈdʒɪlɪn|
[ad. F. aspergilline (G. Linossier 1891, in Comptes Rendus CXII. 489), f. aspergillus + -in1.]
1. A black pigment found in the spores of various species of Aspergillus.
1891Jrnl. Chem. Soc. LX. 751 The spores of Aspergillus niger, when treated with very dilute ammonia, yield a dark-coloured solution from which a slight excess of hydro⁓chloric acid throws down aspergillin as a black, bulky, flocculent precipitate. 1949Florey et al. Antibiotics I. vii. 348 Since the name ‘aspergillin’ was originally proposed by Linossier (1891) for the black water-insoluble pigment of the spores of A[spergillus] niger, it would appear desirable to avoid applying it to other substances.
2. A name given to various antibiotic substances obtained from different species of Aspergillus.
1943Jrnl. Pharmacol. LXXVIII. 164 In an abstract of this paper..our antibacterial substance is referred to as aspergillin. Due to the possible confusion with White's aspergillic acid..we thought it advisable to change the name of our antibacterial substance to flavicin. 1944N. F. Stanley in Austral. Jrnl. Sci. VI. 151/2 (title) Aspergillin, a Stable Antibacterial Substance of High Potency Produced by a Species of Aspergillus... Aspergillin is more soluble in organic solvents than in water. |
