This invention relates to a novel microorganism that efficiently produces a dodecahydro-3a,6,6,9a-tetramethylnaphtho[2,1-b]furan intermediate using sclareol as a substrate. As a result of concentrated studies, a plurality of novel microorganisms having properties of interest that are not classified as conventional microorganisms were isolated and identified. The novel microorganism of the present invention belongs to Ascomycetes and has the ability of producing a dodecahydro-3a,6,6,9a-tetramethylnaphtho[2,1-b]furan intermediate using sclareol as a substrate. Such microorganism of Ascomycetes represents a new finding and it can be effective for producing dodecahydro-3a,6,6,9a-tetramethylnaphtho[2,1-b]furan and an intermediate thereof.
本发明涉及一种新型微生物,它能以紫苏醇为底物,高效生产十二氢-3a,6,6,9a-四甲基萘并[2,1-b]呋喃中间体。集中研究的结果是,分离并鉴定出多种新型微生物,它们具有不属于传统微生物的相关特性。本发明的新型微生物属于 Ascomycetes(子囊菌属),具有以紫苏醇为底物生产十二氢-3a,6,6,9a-四甲基萘并[2,1-b]呋喃中间体的能力。这种子囊菌属微生物是一项新发现,可有效生产十二氢-3a,6,6,9a-四甲基萘并[2,1-b]呋喃及其中间体。
