Chloromonilinic Acids A and B, Novel Catabolites of the Growth Self-inhibitor Chloromonilicin Isolated from Monilinia fructicola

Abstract

Chloromonilinic acids A and B were newly isolated from a culture filtrate of M. fructicola accumulating chloromonilicin in the mycelium, and their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence. The unusual catabolic route of chloromonilicin is discussed.
