Sumario:Steviol glycosides were subjected to bacteria present in a soil sample collected from a Stevia plantation in Paraguay. During the incubation experiments, next to the aglycon steviol, steviol degradation products were also formed. X-ray analysis and NMR methods in combination with chemical synthesis and GIAO NMR calculations were used to fully characterize the structure of these compounds as a tricyclic ketone and the corresponding reduced form. They were nicknamed <i>monicanone</i> and <i>monicanol</i>. The latter has the (<i>S</i>)-configuration at the alcohol site.
