Abstract
A UV-generated mutant of Fusarium sporotrichioides NRRL 3299 was altered in its ability to biosynthesize T-2 toxin, as shown by a rapid screen with monoclonal antibodies to T-2. This stable mutant accumulated two trichothecenes that were not observed in liquid cultures of the parent strain. The two compounds were identified as 3,15-diol 12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-ene and 3,15-diol 12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-ene 3-acetate on the basis of their nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectra. This is the first report of either of these two compounds as secondary metabolites of F. sporotrichioides and of a trichothecene acetylated at C-3 by this species.
