Hydroxylation of Dehydroabietic Acid by Fomes annosus.

Abstract
In a series of bioassays of Norway spruce (Picea abies) extractives, the most common resin acids were partially transformed by F. annosus to very complex mixtures of more polar constituents. The transformation pattern of dehydroabietic acid was sufficiently clearcut to allow isolation of major products. The isolation and identification of 1.beta.,15-dihydroxydehydroabietic acid and 1.beta.,16-dihydroxydehydroabietic acid are reported.
