Glycerol → Quinoxaline-2-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Cells of various microorganisms were grown in the tubes containing 2.5 mL of the dextrose, nutrisoy flour medium as described in EXAMPLE I. Individual tubes were inoculated with spores or vegetative cells (about 1% v/v of spore or vegetative cell stock culture) of various microorganisms stored as frozen glycerol suspensions, and incubated at about 29° C. with agitation (210 rpm) on a rotary shaker. After about 48 hours, 0.05 mL of a 10 mg/mL solution of 2-methylquinoxaline in DMSO was added to each tube. After about 4 days incubation, the contents of each tube were extracted, and the individual extracts were analyzed by HPLC as described in EXAMPLE I. The yields of 2-quinoxalinecarboxylic acid were determined by HPLC and the results are summarized in TABLE 5.
