Abstract Biotransformation of sclareol with different microorganisms led to 2α-, 3β- and 18-hydroxy-sclareol. Cunninghamella elegans additionally formed the hitherto unknown 19-hydroxy-sclareol. The phylogenetic position of a strain is mirrored in its ability to form these metabolises. The ability of fungi to convert this substrate is higher than that of the bacteria. Thus 2α-hydroxy-sclareol is only

生物转化产生了 2α-、3β- 和 18-羟基
香紫苏醇。Cunninghamella elegans 还形成了迄今为止未知的 19-羟基
香紫苏醇。菌株的系统发育位置反映在其形成这些代谢物的能力上。真菌转化这种底物的能力高于细菌。因此,2α-羟基-
紫苏醇仅由接合菌和一些
氘菌形成。最活跃的菌株属于接合菌纲和担子菌纲。在细菌中,革兰氏阳性菌比革兰氏阴性菌更活跃。
