Abstract
Two new flavin compounds (X and Y) were found as metabolites of Schizophyllum commune, a Basidiomycete, producing a larger amount of L-malate through CO2-fixing process such as reductive carboxylation of phosphoenolpyruvate coupled with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate under aerobic conditions. These two flavins were named ‘Schizoflavin (SF)’ after Schizophyllum, and X and Y were tentatively called SF1 and SF2, respectively. By using an enzymic system, SF2 was demonstrated to be a direct precursor of SF1, being formed from riboflavin.
