Abstract
cc-Pinene has been subjected to microbial oxidation by the yeast Candida tr opicalis MTCC 230. An overall reaction yield of 77% has been obtained for t he biotransformation product [alpha(D)(25) =+21.1, c=1.5, CHCl3] in 96 hr, the structure of which has been determined by spectral methods.
