Biotransformation of ent-Atisenes and ent-Beyerenes by Rhizopus nigricans and Fusarium moniliforme Cultures
摘要:
Microbial transformations of ent-atisene and ent-beyerene compounds were carried out using cultures of R. nigricans and F. moniliforme. Rhizopus nigricans metabolized all of the substrates, at higher yields than F. moniliforme, to give an ent-3 beta hydroxylation (60-65% for ent-atisenes and 80-85% for ent-beyerenes). Moreover, the double bond of the ent-beyerene skeleton was epoxidized by both fungi at lower yields (3-6%). Fusarium moniliforme produced a number of additional minor products by hydroxylation at other positions.
