6-O-DEMETHYL-5-DEOXYFUSARUBIN AND ITS ANHYDRO DERIVATIVE PRODUCED BY A MUTANT OF THE FUNGUS NECTRIA HAEMATOCOCCA BLOCKED IN FUSARUBIN BIOSYNTHESIS

Abstract

6-O-Demethyl-5-deoxyfusarubin and 6-O-demethyl-5-deoxyanhydrofusarubin have been isolated from the mutant redD169.yelY9 of the fungus Nectria haematococca blocked in fusarubin biosynthesis. These products were identified on the basis of physico-chemical data by comparison with known substances.
