THE ROLE OF ROQUEFORTINE IN THE SYNTHESIS OF ALKALOIDS MELEAGRINE, GLANDICOLINES-A AND GLANDICOLINES-B, AND OXALINE IN FUNGI PENICILLIUM-GLANDICOLA AND P-ATRAMENTOSUM
Ta. Reshetilova et al., THE ROLE OF ROQUEFORTINE IN THE SYNTHESIS OF ALKALOIDS MELEAGRINE, GLANDICOLINES-A AND GLANDICOLINES-B, AND OXALINE IN FUNGI PENICILLIUM-GLANDICOLA AND P-ATRAMENTOSUM, Microbiology, 64(1), 1995, pp. 27-29
The incorporation of radiocarbon of exogenous labeled roquefortine int
o the molecules of alkaloids meleagrine, glandicolines A and B, and ox
aline was shown to occur in cell suspensions and growing cultures of f
ungi Penicillium glandicola Seifert et Samson VKM F-743 and P. atramen
tosum IBT-3421. Roquefortine was proved to be a precursor of these alk
aloids. The biosynthetic pathway of roquefortine transformation to oxa
line is discussed.
