Abstract
Functionalized fullerenes are used in a method of combating fungal growth on surfaces and treating fungal diseases of patients. Surfaces that can be treated by the materials comprising an effective amount of functionalized fullerenes include those of fruits, vegetables, harvested grains, plants, or plant seeds. The method of combating fungal growth on a surface can be augmented but is not dependent on irradiation of the surface by light. Functional fullerenes are employed in various dosage forms such as topical, ingestible or administration.
