1942 S. A. Waksman et al. in Science XCVI. 203/1 Two species of Aspergillus were studied..A. fumigatus..and A. clavatus... These two organisms produced active substances..designated as fumigacin and clavacin respectively.
1944 Ann. Reg. 1943 359 Clavicin seems to be especially lethal to plant pathogenic bacteria.
1959 Life 31 Aug. 72/2 Soon after actinomycin came clavacin and fumigacin, both of which were impressive on first acquaintance but failed to survive rigorous testing.
