Abstract
The biotransformation of beta-selinene was investigated using the plan t pathogenic fungus Glomerella cingulata as a biocatalyst. beta-Seline ne was oxidized at the double bond of the isopropenyl group and at the C-1 position regioselectively to ,6S,9S,10R,11RS)-1,11,13-trihydroxy- beta-selinene. The structures of the metabolic products have been eluc idated on the basis of their spectral data. Copyright (C) 1997 Elsevie r Science Ltd
