Several microorganisms were examined for their abilities to convert S-nicotine into nornicotine. Five microorganisms including Microsporum gypseum (ATCC 11395) produced nornicotine and three unknown metabolites. M. gypseum efficiently reduced nicotine-1'-N-oxide to nicotine, but no nornicotine was obtained when the N-oxide was used as substrate.
研究了几种微生物将S-尼古丁转化为去甲烟碱的能力。包括石膏样小孢子菌(ATCC 11395)在内的五种微生物产生了去甲烟碱和三种未知代谢物。石膏样小孢子菌能有效地将烟碱-1'-N-氧化物还原为烟碱,但当以N-氧化物为底物时,未得到去甲烟碱。
