Abstract
A simple and rapid HPLC method has been developed to analyse all the m ethylxanthines that can be produced by N-demethylation of 1,3,7-trimet hylxanthine (caffeine). This method is particularly suitable to study caffeine metabolism of a filamentous fungus (Aspergillus sp V12A25) cu ltivated in a synthetic liquid medium containing caffeine as the sole source of nitrogen.
