Abstract
Several species of fungi were tested for their abilities to degrade (S)-nicotine, of which Pelliculariafilamentosa JTS-208, the pathogen of tobacco damping off disease, and Cunninghamella echinulata IFO-4444, a saprophyte, were found to be able to degrade nicotine. P. filamentosa JTS-208 accumulated nornicotine only in the nicotine medium. C. echinulata IFO-4444 accumulated nornicotine and N-methylmyosmine, the first fungal metabolite, and three unidentified compounds.
