Abstract
Ultraviolet irradiation of spores of a strain of A. terreus Thom that produces geodoxin led to the isolation of new strains with marked differences in their ability to synthesize phenolic compounds. Comparison of the phenolic metabolites of these new strains indicated that processes such as chlorination, oxidation, and hydrolysis are under genetic control. The results provide evidence on the stages in the biosynthesis of geodoxin and related compounds.
