Fig. 8From: Ursodeoxycholic acid production by Gibberella zeae mutantsComparative statistical analysis of LCA to UDCA conversion (144 h) by G. zeae parent (P) and mutant (M) strains (GC data of three independent experiments) (a). TLC profiles of 120 h (b) and 144 h (c) samples (~ 10 µg of steroids in the spot): S1, standard samples of LCA (0.5 mkg) and UDCA (7 mkg); S2, standard samples of LCA (1.0 mkg) and UDCA (8 mkg) (top to bottom); X–undefined metabolite (the structure of the product was not determined due to its low amount and concomitant formation of several metabolites). LCA initial concentration was 4 g/LBack to article page
