Summary:It has been known that the naturally occurring homologues of ubiquinone as major constituents of respiratory quinones are composed of those having 6 through 10 isoprene units. During the course of studies on the ubiquinone or coenzyme Q system in yeasts and yeast-like organisms as a taxonomic criterion, the authors have found that ubiquinone-5 (2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-multiprenyl-1,4-benzoquinone) is present as a major component in a strain of the ascosporogenous yeast species, Nematospora coryli . This paper describes the properties and structure of ubiquinone-5 isolated from N. coryli .
