title: Bioconversion of ilicic alcohol and derivatives with cultures of filamentous fungi.
abstract: Aspergillus niger cultures monohydroxylate ilicic alcohol in C-3 in a cis position with respect to the methyl groups at C-4 and C-10, and trans position with respect to the hydroxyl group of C-4. Furthermore, Aspergillus niger cultures reduce ilicic aldehyde to its corresponding alcohol.
