| Abstract: | Two substances besides rubiginol, of positive ferric chloride reaction were isolated from a shaking culture of Gluconoacetobacter liquefaciens, using glucose as the substrate. One of them was found to be a new γ-pyrone derivative and the composition was concluded to be 3,5-dihydroxy-l,4-pyrone-2-carboxylic acid. The other substance was found to be comenic acid. Assumptions were made with regard to the mechanism of the formation of these γ-pyrone derivatives from glucose. |
