Abstract:
Bioconversion of cedrol (1) with the Curvularia lunata was investigated in two different growth media. Five products were obtained in potato dextrose broth, whereas nine compounds were produced in a medium containing beef extract. Only three of the metabolites: 3beta-hydroxycedrol (2), 3alpha-hydroxycedrol (3) and 12-hydroxycedrol (4) were common to both media. They were also obtained as the major products in each case. Three new derivatives have also been identified.
