title: PR toxin biosynthesis in Penicillium roqueforti.
abstract: Complex bouquet: A recently developed method for trace analyses combining the advantages of GC-MS and (13) C NMR spectroscopy was applied to investigate the volatiles of Penicillium roqueforti. Besides the main compound, aristolochene, several side products of aristolochene synthase and downstream oxidation products en route to PR toxin were identified, giving insight into the biosynthetic pathway.
