Verification of the phenylpropanoid pinoresinol biosynthetic pathway and its glycosides in Phomopsis sp. XP-8 using 13C stable isotope labeling and liquid chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry
Phomopsis sp. XP-8, an endophytic fungus from the bark of Tu-Chung (Eucommia ulmoidesOliv), revealed the pinoresinol diglucoside (PDG) biosynthetic pathway after precursor feeding measurements and genomic annotation. To verify the pathway more accurately, [13C6]-labeled glucose and [13C6]-labeled phenylalanine were separately...
