M. Miyazawa et al., Biotransformation of (-)-dihydromyrcenyl acetate using the plant parasiticfungus Glomerella cingulata as a biocatalyst, J AGR FOOD, 48(10), 2000, pp. 4826-4829
The microbial transformation of (-)-dihydromyrcenyl acetate was investigate
d using the plant parasitic fungus Glomerella cingulata. As a result, (-)-d
ihydromyrcenyl acetate was converted to dihydromyrcenol, 3,7-dihydroxy-3,7-
dimethyl-1-octene-7-carboxylate, 3,7-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethyl-1-octene, 3,7-d
imethyloctane-1,2,7-triol-7-carboxylate, and 3,7-dimethyloctane-1,2,7-triol
. In addition, microbial transformation of dihydromyrcenol by G. cingulata
was carried out. The metabolic pathway of (-)-dihydromyrcenyl acetate is di
scussed.
