Abstract

Three new metabolites - (-)-mitorubrinol, 2-formyl-3,5-dihydroxy-4-methylbenzoic and 2-formyl-3,5-dihydroxy-4-hydroxymethylbenzoic acids - were isolated from the culture medium of Penicillium vermiculatum DANG. Hexane extract of the mycelium contained ergosterol and esters of fatty acids, linoleic, oleic and palmitic acids being the dominating ones.
