Feeding experiments of (+)-[19-2H2]fusicocca-2,10(14)-diene, a deuterated derivative of a new candidate for the initially-forming fusicoccane-hydrocarbon in the fusicoccin biosynthesis, with the fusicoccin- producing fungus Phomopsis (Fusicoccum) amygdali have revealed its incorporation into fusicoccins J and A through (+)-fusicocca-2,10(14)-dien- 8β-ol, whose occurrence in the mycelial extract has been confirmed by direct comparison of its 1H NMR and GC-MS data with those of the synthetic sample, proving the early biosynthetic route leading to the aglycons of fusicoccins.
