  • Title: Isolation and identification of phenolic substances from the fungus Penicillium spinulosum.
    Author: Verachtert H, Hanssens L.
    Journal: Ann Microbiol (Paris); 1975; 126(2):143-9. PubMed ID: 1155879.
    Abstract:
    Penicillium spinulosum grown in a Czapek-Dox medium containing glucose produces two phenolic substances: 4-methyl orcinol (beta-orcinol) and 3-methyl orsellinic acid (beta-orcinolcarboxylic acid). Their isolation and identification are described. They are considered to be precursors of quinoids occuring in aged media and responsible for their red-violet colours. Preliminary results indicate that one of the quinoid compounds may be a diphenoquinone.
