Metabolic products of Colletotrichum capsici: isolation and characterisation of acetylcolletotrichin and colletodiol

Abstract

Two neutral metabolic products of Colletotrichum capsici, acetylcolletotrichin, a phytotoxic C28H42O7 terpenoid with hydroxyl, methoxyl, and unsaturated ketone groupings, and colletodiol, a chemically unrelated, biologically inactive C14H20O6 alcohol, have been isolated and characterised.
