A study of the biotransformation of olivetol by Syncephalastrum racemosum ATCC 18192 has led to the isolation of three metabolites, which were identified as 4'-hydroxy-olivetol, 3-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-propanol, and 3-(3,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-1-propanoic acid. The structures of the isolated metabolites were deduced by comparison of
