Abstract
WE have found that some species of Penicillium produce D-araboascorbic acid. Rarely has this acid been found in biological material or products. Isherwood et al. 1,2 have found it in cress seedlings in D-altrono-γ-lactone solution and in the urine of a rat injected with D-mannono-γ-lactone.
