Shaken liquid fermentation of an isolate of Aspergillus ochraceus showed growth-associated production of ochratoxins A and B, followed by production of a related polyketide diaporthin. Later, between 150 and 250 It, mellein accumulated transitorily. In contrast, shaken solid substrate (shredded wheat) fermentation over 14 days produced mainly ochratoxins A and B (ratio ca. 5: 1) in very high yield (up to 10 mg/g). In these systems experiments with C-14 -labelled precursors and putative intermediates revealed temporal separation of early and late stages of the ochratoxin biosynthetic pathway, but did not support an intermediary role for mellein. The pentaketide intermediate ochratoxin beta was biotransformed very efficiently into both ochratoxins A and B, 14 and 19%, respectively. The already chlorinated ochratoxin alpha was only biotransformed significantly (4.85%) into ochratoxin A, indicating that chlorination is mainly a penultimate biosynthetic step in the biosynthesis of ochratoxin A. This was supported by poor (1.5%) conversion of radiolabelled ochratoxin B into ochratoxin A. Experiments implied that some ochratoxin B may arise by dechlorination of ochratoxin A.
