MICROBIAL HYDROXYLATION OF ML-236B (COMPACTIN) STUDIES ON MICROORGANISMS CAPABLE OF 3β-HYDROXYLATION OF ML-236B (original) (raw)

Abstract

Various microorganisms were tested for capability to hydroxylate of ML-236B at the 3β-position. As the result, it was found that this ability was limited to a small group of microorganisms, mainly Zygomycetes in fungi, and Nocardia in actinomycetes.
