The bacterial transformation of abietic acid

The bacterial transformation of abietic acid

An Alcaligenes species, which was isolated from soil, can utilize abietic acid as its sole carbon source. During growth, the bacterium transforms abietic acid into 5alpha-hydroxyabietic acid (I, R=OH), a product considered to be 7beta-hydroxy-13-isopropyl-8xi-podocarp-13-en-15-oic acid (II, R=H) and...

Zusammenfassung:An Alcaligenes species, which was isolated from soil, can utilize abietic acid as its sole carbon source. During growth, the bacterium transforms abietic acid into 5alpha-hydroxyabietic acid (I, R=OH), a product considered to be 7beta-hydroxy-13-isopropyl-8xi-podocarp-13-en-15-oic acid (II, R=H) and a compound, C(20)H(28)O(3), which is believed to be an epoxy-gamma-lactone.
