Abstract
The relationship among the metabolites of Aspergillus fumigatus DH 413 was studied by using 14c-labelled compounds 14c-Labelled 2-methyl-5-methoxy-6-hydroxy-2,3-epoxy-p-benzoquinone was well incorporated into fumigatin and fumi-gatin quinol, but the reverse reaction was not observed, and it is suggested that the epoxydation step is involved in the biosynthesis of toluquinones.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
