Microbial transformation of 6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-en-2-ylethanone

Abstract

In this present study, the microbial biotransformation of the volatile carene derivative 6,6-dimethylbicyclo[3.1.0]hex-2-en-2-yl-ethanone (C₁₀H₁₄) was investigated using 8 different yeast and fungi. Chromatographic and spectroscopic analyses suggested 4 new metabolites.
