The biosynthesis of pachybasin (1-hydroxy-3-methylanthraquinone), a metabolite of Phoma foveata
Abstract
Incorporation experiments using [2-14C]- and [1-14C]-acetate and [2-14C]-malonate have established that the biosynthesis of the fungal anthraquinone, pachybasin (4), involves an acetate–malonate pathway.
