Lotus, .Nelumbo

P-Am5uin (24) is found in various plant resins in mixture with the a-isomer and especially in bee pollen oil of lotus Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn (Indian Lotus), 3g/kg [44], or the bark of Amphiptetygium adstringens, 2Aglkg [45]. p-Amyrin acetate (25) was deacetylated by Rhodobacter sphaeroides, a photosynthetic bacterium, and converted to olean-12-ene-3p,24-diol (26), and erythrodiol (olean-12-ene-3p,28-diol, 27) [46] (Figure 28.8).
