Penicillium cyaneo-fulvum, which was found growing as a contaminant on a Lowenstein slope in the Clinical Laboratories of the Department of Bacteriology, McGill University, by Denton (1947), has been shown to produce at least three distinct substances. The mould produces an antibiotic, probably penicillin, a toxin neutralizing substance, noxiversin (Diena, 1954, 1956; Murray, Denton, Stevenson and Diena, 1958) and an antiviral factor (Diena, 1956; Cooke, 1958, 1960). Noxiversin, studied in some detail by Diena and others (Ajemian, 1957; Diena, 1954, 1956; Murray et al., 1958; Tanner, 1956, 1957), was found to possess, in addition to its antitoxic properties, some activity against influenza virus (Diena, 1956).
