In a screening for antifungal metabolites, two indole compounds of mixed bi
ogenesis, 1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid, 1-(1,1-dimethyl-2-propenyl) methyl e
ster and 1H-indole-3-carboxylic acid, 1-(2,3-dihydroxy-1,1-dimethylpropyl)
methyl ester were isolated from a culture of the basidiomycete Aporpium car
yae. The structural elucidation of these compounds was accomplished by spec
troscopic methods. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
