Abstract

Flavanone (1) and 6-hydroxyflavanone (2) were subjected to transformation by means of Aspergillus niger strains (one wild and three UV mutants). For both substrates the biotransformation resulted in reduction of the carbonyl group (products 5 and 7) and dehydrogenation at C-2 and C-3 (3 and 8). Additionally, for flavanone (1) reduction of C-4 together with hydroxylation at C-7 (6) and dehydrogenation at C-2, C-3 along with hydroxylation at C-3 (4) were observed.
