title: Biotransformation of polyprenols by the larvae of Pieris rapae crucivora.
abstract: The biotransformation of cleomeprenols-1-3H by the larvae of Pieris rapae crucivora Boisduval has been investigated. It was found that cleomeprenols fed to the larvae are transformed into long chain fatty acid esters that are excreted in the feces.
