Microbial conversion of partheniol by Calonectria decora

Abstract

The biotransformation of partheniol by the fungus Calonectria decora ATCC 14767, produced six metabolites. These metabolites are; aromadendr-1(10)-en-8α -ol; 5(9),6-tricyclohumul-1(10)-en-8α-ol; 4,15-didehydro-6-bicyclohumulan-8α,10α-diol; 5(9),6-tricyclohumulan-4α,8α-diol; maalian-1α,8α-diol and 14-epi-1(4)-epoxymaalian-8α-ol. The identities of these metabolites were established by different spectroscopic measurements.
