We screened the microorganisms that are present on the surface of Picea glehnii seeds and produced antifungal compounds against Pythium vexans, a fungus that causes damping-off. Four isolates of Penicillium species that produced patulin, citrinin, palitantin, and arthrographol, respectively, were identified from 149 different microorganisms screened. This study is the first step in an examination of the ecological interaction between host conifers and fungi located on the surface of their seeds.
