Studies on the biosynthesis of muscarine in mycelial cultures of Clitocybe rivulosaThe incorporation and distribution of several 14C-labelled simple compounds into muscarine has been investigated with mycelial cultures of Clitocybe rivulosa. Specifically, the carbon atoms 1, 2 and 3 of pyruvate are incorporated into CH3-C(2), C(2) and C(3), and the carbon atoms 2, 3 and 4 of glutamate into C(4), C(5) and CH2-C(5) of muscarine. The carbon atoms 1 and 5 of glutamate are lost during the biosynthesis. Therefore, muscarine can be regarded as a derivative of glutamate.
