    Abstract: A microorganism belonging to Beauveria sp. and having ability to produce FKI-1366 substance A and/or FKI-1366 substance B and/or FKI-1366 substance C (Beauveria sp. FKI-1366 FERM BP-08459) is cultured in a medium, accumulating FKI-1366 substance A and/or FKI-1366 substance B and/or FKI-1366 substance C in the culture liquid and isolating FKI-1366 substance A and/or FKI-1366 substance B and/or FKI-1366 substance C from the cultured mass. Since the thus obtained FKI-1366 substance A and/or FKI-1366 substance B and/or FKI-1366 substance C or composition thereof have activity to enhance azole antifungal agent, the substance has an action against various fungal infections such as deep-seated mycosis and other fungal infections in the low concentration within short term.
