Biotransformations of (-)-Nopol by Aspergillus terreus MRC 200365 and Aspergillus fumigatus MRC 200358

Abstract

The biotransformation of (-)-nopol by Aspergillus terreus MRC 200365 and Aspergillus fumigatus MRC 200358 was described. The biotransformation of (-)-nopol by A. terreus for 7 days afforded 7-hydroxymethyl-1-p-menthen-8-ol. The biotransformation of (-)-nopol by A. fumigatus for 7 days afforded only starting material.
