title: The biotransformation of the diterpene 2beta-hydroxy-ent-13-epi-manoyl oxide by Gibberella fujikuroi.
abstract: Incubation of the diterpene 2beta-hydroxy-ent-13-epi-manoyl oxide with Gibberella fujikuroi afforded in good yield 2beta,6beta-dihydroxy-ent-13-epi-manoyl oxide, 2beta,12beta-dihydroxy-ent-13-epi-manoyl oxide and 2beta,20-dihydroxy-ent-13-epi-manoyl oxide, confirming that although ent-13-epi-manoyl oxide is a final metabolite of a biosynthetic branch in this fungus, more polar derivatives of this compound can be transformed by this micro-organism.
