title: The production of novel sordarin analogues by biotransformation.
abstract: The biotransformation of the fungal protein synthesis inhibitor sordarin is reported. Nine taxonomically diverse organisms supported the isolation and identification of twelve modified products. The structural diversity of the biotransformation products observed and their value in supporting further chemistry is discussed.
