Abstract
A key step in the biosynthesis of the fungal meroterpenoids boviquinone-3 and -4 is the prenylation of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid. In fruit-bodies of Suillus bovinus boviquinone-4 is formed by geranylgeranylation of 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid at C-5, whereas in Chroogomphus rutilus the farnesyl side chain of boviquinone-3 is introduced at C-2. The biosynthesis of the terpenoid chain of boviquinone-4 follows the mevalonate route.
