Trametes versatillis, a fungus highly producing eburicoic acid

Z Naturforsch C J Biosci. 2007 Nov-Dec;62(11-12):909-10. doi: 10.1515/znc-2007-11-1221.

Abstract

Eburicoic acid was produced and isolated from the cultured mycelia of the fungus, Trametes versatillis. The weight rate of eburicoic acid in the dry weight of cultured mycelia of Trametes versatillis was about to 1%. Trametes versatillis can be expected as an important bioresource to supply eburicoic acid for its industrial exploitation.
