| Abstract: | Fungal biotransformation of p-coumaric acid into caffeic acid, potentially a strong antioxidant, was evidenced in Pycnoporus cinnabarinus cultures grown with high feeding of p-coumaric acid. Preliminary experiments showed no toxicity of both p-coumaric and caffeic acids at concentrations ranging from 0 to 500 mg l–1. Feeding 450 mg p-coumaric acid l–1 into P. cinnabarinus cultures grown on 20 g l–1 glucose medium resulted in the production of 257 mg caffeic acid l–1with a molar yield of 21%. |
