title: Biosynthesis of striatol in cultured cells of liverwort, Ptycanthus striatus.
abstract: NMR analyses of striatol produced by suspension-cultured cells of liverwort, Ptycanthus striatus, in the presence of [2-(13)C]- and [4,4-(2)H2]-MVAs confirmed proton-catalyzed cyclization between the distal and central double bonds in FPP and a concerted series of 1,2-migrations of hydrogen and a methyl group, with subsequent elimination of a proton.
