Biotransformations of Imbricatolic Acid by Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus nigricans Cultures

Biotransformations of Imbricatolic Acid by Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus nigricans Cultures

Microbial transformation of imbricatolic acid (1) by Aspergillus niger afforded 1α-hydroxyimbricatolic acid (2), while transformation with Rhizopus nigricans yielded 15-hydroxy-8,17-epoxylabdan-19-oic acid (3). When the diterpene 1 was added to a Cunninghamella echinulata culture, the main produc...
