title: Microbiological oxidation of the pentyl side chain of cannabinoids.
abstract: Syncephalastrum racemosum ATCC 18192 and Mycobacterium rhodochrous ATCC 19067 partially degrade the n-pentyl side chain of cannabidiol, cannabinol, delta8-tetrahydrocannabinol and delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol. Carboxylic acid and alcohol side chain derivatives are major metabolites.
