title: Microbial transformation of the sesquiterpenoid (-)-maalioxide by Mucor plumbeus.
abstract: Microbial transformation of the sesquiterpenoid (-)-maalioxide by the fungus Mucor plumbeus gave three metabolites, 9beta-hydroxymaalioxide, 1beta-hydroxymaalioxide and 7beta-hydroxymaalioxide. 9beta-hydroxymaalioxide and its structure was established on the basis of its spectroscopic properties and chemical reactions.
