title: Penicillium sclerotiorum catalyzes the conversion of herbertenediol into its dimers: mastigophorenes A and B.
abstract: Herbertenediol was subjected to biotransformation by Penicillium sclerotiorum. Spectral data analysis of the converted metabolites revealed that the neurotrophic active compounds, mastigophorenes A and B, dimeric to the substrate were formed.
