Abstract
Preliminary microbial metabolism studies of bisphenol A (BPA) (1) on twenty six microorganisms have shown that Aspergillus fumigatus is capable of metabolizing BPA. Scale-up fermentation of 1 with A. fumigatus gave a metabolite (2) and its structure was established as bisphenol $A-O-{\beta}-D-glucopyranoside$ (BPAG) based on spectroscopic analyses.
Keywords
