Biotransformations of ENT-16beta-hydroxybeyeran-19-oic acid ( 1) by Mortierella isabellina produced hydroxylated metabolites. The isolated metabolites included three new compounds, ent-14beta,16beta-dihydroxybeyeran-19-oic acid ( 3), ent-12beta-hydroxy-16-oxobeyeran-19-oic acid ( 4), and ent-7alpha,12beta-dihydroxy-16-oxobeyeran-19-oic acid ( 5), and one known compound, ent-7alpha,16beta-dihydroxybeyeran-19-oic
