Abstract: Using paper-disc agar-diffusion method, the activity of Eucommia bark protein against Trichoderma viride, Penicillium and Rhizopus were investigated. The results indicated that Eucommia bark protein could effectively inhibit these molds. The values of minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) toward Trichoderma viride, Penicillium and Rhizopus are 912.5, 912.5 and 456.3μg/ml, respectively. MIC value of carbendazim for mentioned three test strains is 456.3μg/ml.

Key words: Eucommia bark protein, carbendazim, molds, antifungal activity
