Abstract
In the ethyl acetate extract from the extracellular fluid of the mycelium of Bjerkandera sp. BOS55 the presence of veratryl chloride was detected. Addition of deuterated benzoic acid or 4-hydroxybenzoic acid to the culture resulted in the formation of deuterated veratryl chloride. The detection of veratryl chloride constitutes the first report of a biologically derived natural product which contains a halogenated benzylic carbon. Since veratryl chloride is not very stable in aqueous medium, its detection also suggests a continuous production.
