Abstract
1. The lipids of the red mycelium of the fungus Epicoccum nigrum Link were investigated. Four carotenoid pigments were isolated and identified as β-carotene, γ-carotene, rhodoxanthin and torularhodin. 2. For the first time rhodoxanthin was isolated as a fungal metabolite. 3. Linoleic acid was the major fatty acid in the total lipids. 4. Ergosterol was present in the lipids in the non-esterified form.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
