| Research Abstract |
We analyzed structure and functions of amphipathic metabolites produced by a selective white rot fungus, Ceriporiopsis subvermispora, and found that this fungus secretes novel biosurfactants and amphipathic dicarboxylic acids with a new side chain structure, under the conditions producing slimy sheath composed of β-1,3 glucan. We also elucidated that production of the amphipathic compounds was increased under the wood rotting conditions which promote lignin biodegradation.
