This biotransformation was investigated using 13C- and 14C-labeled compounds. It is likely that 2 is formed by condensation of the added 2-pyrone and a catabolic pyruvate.}, pages = {5141--5143}, title = {Novel biotransformation of a 2-pyrone to a substituted benzoic acid}, volume = {33}, year = {1985} }
