Several strains of basidiom ycetes were examined for their ability to transform α-and β-pinene in agitated submerged cultures. Four major metabolites of α-pinene (verbenol, verbenone, myrtenol, and trans-pinocarveol) and ...

Selective transformations of limonene by asco- and basidiomycetes were investigated. On the shake flask scale, Penicillium citrinum hydrated R-(+)-limonene to α-terpineol [83% regioselectivity (rs), more than 80 mg l-1 ...
