Abstract
Myxomycetes being the promising source of secondary metabolites need to be evaluated for their potential in the development of the drugs. About 100 of novel secondary metabolites have been described till now and only 10% species are cultured so far, thus it is the need of the present to culture these species in laboratories so that they serve the society. The present study thus describes the agar culture of Fuligo septica which is apparently the first report from Alibag Raigad, Maharashtra.
