Abstract
The metabolites averufin, versiconol, versiconal acetate, versiconol acetate, versicolorin C, sterigmatocystin, and a new metabolite, 3,8-dihydroxy-4-(2,3-dihydroxy-1-hydroxymethylpropyl)-1-methoxyxanthone were isolated from cultures of Bipolaris sorokiniana. Evidence is presented for the reformulation of bipolarin as versiconol. The biosynthetic implications of the natural occurrence of versiconal acetate and of versiconol acetate are discussed.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
