Arthrobacter ilicis T(2) brings about a unique type of cometabolic structural rearrangement of longifolene, a sesquiterpene, resulting in the formation of an acid. Infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, and decoupling studies indicate that the acid product has a sativenelike structure, which is confirmed by conversion of the acid to its methyl ester and hydrocarbon.
节杆菌属(Arthrobacter)ilicis T(2) 可使长叶烯(一种倍半萜烯)发生独特的共代谢结构重排,生成一种酸。红外、核磁共振、质谱和去耦研究表明,该酸产物具有类似葎草烯的结构,这一结构通过将酸转化为甲酯和烃类化合物得到了证实。
