The Claim

Two novel meroterpenoid compounds, miniolutelide D and miniolutelide E (13-epi-miniolutelide C), were isolated from the endophytic fungus Talaromyces purpureogenus derived from pomegranate fruit, and their absolute configurations were determined using TDDFT-ECD calculations.

These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.

Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Scientists identified two previously unknown chemical compounds from a fungus found inside pomegranate fruit and used computational methods to determine their precise three-dimensional molecular structures.

See the scientific wording

Two novel meroterpenoid compounds, miniolutelide D (1) and miniolutelide E (13-epi-miniolutelide C) (2), were isolated and structurally characterized from the endophytic fungus Talaromyces purpureogenus derived from pomegranate fruit, with their absolute configurations determined using TDDFT-ECD calculations.
