Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0031-9422(80)83061-5

The effect of the 7-, 15- and 18-hydroxyl groups on the microbiological transformation of some diterpenoids by Gibberella fijikuroi has been studied.An 18-substituent appears to exert an inhibitory effect on transformation involving reaction at the 6β-position. - Key Word Index: Gibberella fujikuroi; candol A; candol B; sideridiol; 7,18-dihydroxykaurenolide.
