A new cycloartane glycoside (1) was isolated from the aerial part of Thalictrum uchiyamai Nakai (Ranunculaceae). On the basis of chemical and physicochemical evidence, the aglycone structure of this compound was characterized as 116, 25-dihydroxy-3, 24-diacetoxy-9, 19-cycloartane-29-oic acid, a new derivative of cycloartane triterpene. Also the oli-gosaccharide moiety of this glycoside were determined as 29-O-${alpha}$-L-rhanmnopyranosyl- ($1rightarrow2$)-[${beta}$-D-xylofuranosyl-($1rightarrow6$)-${beta}$-D-glucopyranose by application of HMBC technoque. Consequently, the structure of compound 1 was elucidated as 29-O-${alpha}$-L-rhanmnopyranosy-($1rightarrow2$)-[${beta}$-D-xylofuranosyl-($1rightarrow6$)-${beta}$-D-glucopyranosyl-16, 25-dihydroxy-3, 24-diacetoxy-9, 19-cycloartane-29-oic acid ester.

The cultural and physiological conditions for the T-2 toxin [4,15-diacetoxy-8-(3-mety1butyloxy)-12,13- epoxy-trichothec-9-en-3-01, $C_{24}H_{30}O_9$] production by Fusarium spp. were studied. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) assay and the microbiological assay uslng Rhodotomla rubra were used to quantitate tbe T- 2 toxin. Among the four strains of Fusarium spp., F tn'cinctum NRRL 3299 was best for T-2 toxin production. In solid culture, white com grit medium was best for T-2 toxm production. Temperature played a critical role in the production of T-2 toxin. T-2 toxin production was favored by long duration of low-temperature incubation. The growth and toxin production were relatively high on galactose, fructose, glucose, and sucrose media, when each was used as a sole carbon source, and relatively low on sorbitol, glycerol, and lactose media. For nitrogen sources, $NH_4^(+) and NO_3^{-}were used well as a sole nitrogen source, but $NO_2^-$ was not used. Initial pH and speed of shaker also affected the production of T-2 toxin. From temperature shifting experiment, it is clear that T-2 toxin metabolic pathway is regulated by temperature-dependent enzyme depression or enzyme induction system.
