Abstract excerpt
Pterins were extracted with methanol from sporangiophores of the lower fungus Phycomyces blakesleeanus and separated and identified by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection. The following pterins were found and identified for the wild-type strain NRRL1555: carboxypterin (6.7 x 10(-6) M), neopterin (4.2 x 10(-7) M), xanthopterin (5.3 x 10(-6) M), biopterin (3.9 x 10(-7) M),...
