>I have an organism, probably a fungus, in one of the chemostats that I use
>to grow Trypanosoma brucei insect form. The conclusion that this organism
>secretes a trypanocidal product is based on the following observations :
>- The density of the culture was drastically lowered when these organisms
>started growing in the culture vessel.
>- No cells other than Trypanosomes were observed in the culture fluid.
>- Trypanosomes grew well in medium of the exact same batch in culture flasks.
>- Tilting the culture vessel so that one of the colonies became temporarily
>submersed caused massive death of the Trypanosomes in culture overnight.
