A simple and rapid HPLC method, using a high-density C18 column, has been developed for the quantitative analysis of fusaric and dehydrofusaric acids and their methyl esters in the methanol extract of lyophilised culture filtrates of species of Fusarium. The method has been used to determine the content of these metabolites in two strains of Fusarium oxysporum and in strains of F. nygamai and F. udum. Fusaric acid has been isolated and identified from a strain of F. udum for the first time.
