The transformation of the antibacterial diterpene sclareol ( 1 ) by two different fungal strains was investigated ( Scheme ). In the presence of Rhizopus stolonifer , (3 β )‐3‐hydroxysclareol ( 2 ), 18‐hydroxysclareol ( 3 ), (6 α )‐6,18‐dihydroxysclareol ( 4 ), and (11 S )‐11,18‐dihydroxysclareol ( 5 ) were formed. Fermentation of 1 with Fusarium lini afforded (1 β )‐1‐hydroxysclareol ( 6 ) and (12 S )‐12‐hydroxysclareol ( 7 ). Compounds 4 – 7 were identified as new compounds, and some of them were active against Bacillus subtilis ( Table 3 ).
