Abstract
The metabolism of 1-naphthalene acetic acid by the ectomycorrhizal fun gus Pisolithus arhizus was investigated. The structures of the two maj or products of the transformation, 1,2-dihydroxy-1,2-dihydronaphthalen e-1-acetic acid gamma-lactone and 4-hydroxy-1-naphthalene acetic acid, were established by spectroscopic techniques, particularly 2D NMR.
