Piceol is a phenolic compound found in the needles and in mycorrhizal roots of Norway spruces (Picea abies).[1][2] Picein is the glucoside of piceol.[3]
Metabolism
Diprenylated derivatives of piceol can be isolated from Ophryosporus macrodon.[4]
4-Hydroxyacetophenone monooxygenase is an enzyme that transforms piceol into 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. This enzyme is found in Pseudomonas fluorescens.
