A novel fluorescent dicarboxylic acid, (Z)-1,7-nonadecadiene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid, produced by white-rot fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora
A novel fluorescent dicarboxylic acid bearing a long alkenyl side chain, (Z)-1,7-nonadecadiene-2,3-dicarboxylic acid, was isolated from cultures of a white-rot fungus Ceriporiopsis subvermispora. This is the first report of a microorganism that produces an amphiphilic itaconic acid derivative with a long aliphatic side chain.
