Microbiological hydroxylation of carbons 18 and 19 in 9-oxo-13(cis and trans)-prostenoic acids.
dl-9-Oxo-13 (cis and trans)-prostenoic acids were converted in high yields into their 18- and 19-hydroxy derivatives by cultures of Microascus trigonosporus. The structure elucidation of the microbial products is described.
