the UV spectrum ofmulundocandin0 G*max 223 (sh), 275, 282 (sh) nm in methanol; ^max 245, 290 nm in alkaline
methanol) is similar to the UVspectrum of the echinocandin type of antibiotics2). Mulundocandin
(1) gave no coloration with ninhydrin. However upon acid hydrolysis, the hydrolysate showed intense
violet coloration with ninhydrin indicating the presence of amino acids.
