FIG. 6.
Characterization of the P450-4-disruption mutant T12. (A) Total ion current traces from GC-MS analysis of culture filtrates of the P450-4-T12 transformant and wild type (IMI 58289). Peaks: 1, GA9; 2, 7β-hydroxykaurenolide; 3, GA4; 4, fujenoic acid; 5, GA7; 6, GA13; 7, 7β, 18-dihydroxykaurenolide; 8, GA3. The traces are normalized to the largest peak in both traces. (B) HPLC radiochromatograms of extracts of mycelia and culture filtrates (medium) from incubations of ent-[14C]kaurene, ent-[14C]kaurenol, ent-[14C]kaurenal, and ent-[14C]kaurenoic acid with the wild-type (IMI 58289), P450-4-T12, and the mutant, B1-41a. (C) HPLC radiochromatograms of extracts of culture filtrates (medium) from incubations of 14C-labeled GA12− aldehyde, GA14, and GA4 with the wild type and P450-4-T12.
