摘要: The Japanese mealybug, Planococcus kraunhiae, is suitable as a model insect for biosynthetic studies on mealybug pigments. Four yellow pigments, including two novel ones, were isolated from the bodies and characterized endocrocin, dicarboxylic acid named fujikonaic (1), emodin 1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside 7-hydroxyemodin (2). enzymatic activity of 1-O-glucosyltransferase was observed in extracts bodies.
