✦ Synopsis

The feasibility of exploiting microorganisms to produce more environmentally friendly anthraquinone dyes was investigated. A fungal culture, Curvularia lunata, was identiÐed as producing an anthraquinone biochromophore composed of over 70% cynodontin (1,4,5,8-tetrahydroxy-3-methylanthraquinone). Cynodontin of this purity was considered to be a suitable dyestu † intermediate and a method for dye production is described. Properties of the biodye were compared with those of Disperse Blue 7, the chemically synthesised equivalent.

A novel skeleton compound benkarlaol (1) was isolated from the red alga Laurencia karlae Zhang et Xia, collected from the Nansha Islands in the South China Sea. Its structure and relative stereochemistry were determined by spectroscopic data, especially extensive 1D and 2D NMR experiments.
