Degradation of the dye Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) by the marine-derived fungus Tinctoporellus sp. CBMAI 1061 led to the formation of four unprecedented anthraquinones, of which two were halogenated. Investigation of the RBBR degradation medium also led to the isolation of three new tremulene terpenes, of which two bear novel 2-hydroxy-or 2-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole N-oxide moieties. The products of RBBR degradation and of the fungus metabolism have been identified by analysis of spectroscopic data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
