An ${\alpha}-{\text\tiny{D}}-glucoside$ of sesterterpene, 11-epiterpestacin, was isolated from the culture of a filamentous fungus Bipolaris sorokiniana NSDR-011. The structure was elucidated by chemical studies and spectroscopic methods including NMR and ESI-MS. 11-ETG (1) named arbitrarily did not inhibit the root growth of Italian ryegrass seedlings even at the level of 200 ppm, while its aglycone 11-ET (2) completely inhibited root growth at level of 100 ppm.
