TL;DR: The metabolic reaction of (+)-eudesmin and (+)-magnolin in Spodoptera litura larvae is de-O-methylation at para-position on veratryl and 3,4,5-trimethoxyl groups followed by glucosylation.

TL;DR: TwoCamphorquinones were readily reduced by various fungi and reduction of (+)-camphorquinone by Glomerella cingulata and Mucor mucedo afforded (−)-3 S - exo -hydroxycamphor with stereoselectivity.

TL;DR: Biotransformation studies conducted on (+)- (S)-ar-turmerone and (+)-(S)-dihydro-ar-Turmerone by the fungus Aspergillus niger have revealed that 1 was metabolized to give four oxidized metabolites.

TL;DR: The biotransformation of bergapten by the fungus Glomerella cingulata gave the corresponding reduced acid, 6,7-furano-5-methoxy hydrocoumaric acid, a new compound, which was elucidated by high-resolution mass spectrometry, extensive NMR techniques, and heteronuclear multiple quantum coherence, and heteonuclearmultiple bond coherence.

TL;DR: β-Myrcene was mixed in an artificial diet at a concentration of 1 mg/g of diet, and the diet was fed to the last instar larvae of common cutworm, and β-myrcene was transformed mainly to myrcene-3(10)-glycol and myrcenes-1,2-glycol.
