| Abstract: | Ferulic acid was metabolised by a Penicillium sp. (probably P. rubrum) by a novel route involving a preliminary demethylation to caffeic acid, followed by side-chain shortening to yield protocatechuic acid which was subsequently broken down via the ortho-fission pathway.Abbreviations used BAW = n-butanol, acetic acid, water [BAW]-(454:10:22) - BzAc = benzene, acetic acid, water [BzAc](125:72:3) - BzDA = benzene, dioxane, acetic acid [BzDA](90:25:4) |
