Abstract
After determination of hydrolysis conditions which allow the best recovery of the mycosporine components (cyclohexenone 1 and the amino alcohols 2 and 3), these compounds have been searched into mycelia of several fungi. In some of them, 1 was unambiguously detected, although in minute quantities, whilst the unknown natural 2 and 3 could not be identified. So, two alternative pathways of mycosporine biogenesis are under investigation.
