Studies on the Secondary Metabolites Produced by Mixed Cultures ofTwo Epiphytic Fungi Isolated from a Fruit of Mangrove Avicennia marina[J]. Acta Scientiarum Naturalium Universitatis SunYatseni, 2009,48(6):79-82.DOI:
A mixed culture of two epiphytic fungi from a rotten fruit of mangrove Avicennia marina produced two antibacterial secondary metabolites (A and B). Their structures were elucidated as neoaspergillic acid (A) and kojic acid (B) by comprehensive spectral methods (mainly by 2D NMR spectral methods). The structure of compound B was further characterized by single crystal X-Ray diffraction analysis. The crystal of compound B belongs to monoclinic system
space group is P 2
