Abstract
An Alcaligenes species, which was isolated from soil, can utilize abietic acid as its sole carbon source. During growth, the bacterium transforms abietic acid into 5alpha-hydroxyabietic acid (I, R=OH), a product considered to be 7beta-hydroxy-13-isopropyl-8xi-podocarp-13-en-15-oic acid (II, R=H) and a compound, C(20)H(28)O(3), which is believed to be an epoxy-gamma-lactone.Entities:
