Production of Eremofortins A, B, and C Relative to Formation of PR Toxin by Penicillium roqueforti

摘要: The production of various eremophilane-type sesquiterpenes by Penicillium roqueforti strains has allowed us to propose a biochemical pathway for PR toxin synthesis. A time-course study P. metabolite high-performance liquid chromatography was performed check this hypothetical pathway. results obtained suggested that eremofortin C the direct precursor in cell. Attempts determine amount mycelium failed. It shown absence due its instability during extraction procedure.
