D. DA S. aEpicolactonebnatural product isolated from the sugarcane endophytic fungus Epicoccum nigrum.h[electronic resource] c2012 aThe endophytic fungusEpicoccum nigrumwas isolated from sugarcane and the bioguided fractionation of the ethyl acet-ate extract led to the isolation of epicolactone, mellein, and 4,5-dimethylresorcinol. Characterization of epicolactone by MS, NMR and X-ray crystallography revealed a new natural product with an unusual carbon skeleton. The production of this secondary metabolite decreased in mutants of Epi-coccum nigrumtransformed byAgrobacterium tumefaciens. Additionally, these mutants produced 4-hydroxymellein. aEpicoccum nigrum amutagenesis aBioorganic chemistry aNatural products1 aFAVARO, L. C. de L.1 aARAUJO, L. W.1 aOLIVEIRA, F. L.
