The necessity of using microbial test systems with regular reproduction of associated impairments in cell differentiation and division in screening of antitumor compounds is substantiated. Conditions for induction of such impairments during secondary growth in prokaryotic and eukaryotic mycelial microorganisms were developed. The fungal culture, Fusarium bulbigenum var. blasticola, the growth of whose secondary colonies was selectively inhibited by representatives of various classes of antitumor agents such as alkylating agents, antimetabolites, antibiotics, plant preparations, etc. was isolated.
