By our method of screening for antiprotozoal antibiotics and for substances with antivermal activity1) 38 species of Oomycetes were tested. A very high incidence of species with antiprotozoal activity (92 %) a high incidence of species with antivermal activity (68 %) and a substantially lower incidence of species with antifungal and/or antibacterial activity (29 %) were found. The results indicate that the species tested as well as the class Oomycetes in general are rich sources of antiprotozoal and antivermal antibiotics.
