Oxidation of carenes to chaminic acids by Mycobacterium smegmatis DSM 43061

(+)-2-Carene is oxidized to (-)-isochaminic acid by Mycobacterium smegmatis DSM 43061. The side product (+)-2-carene-4-one is formed partially by autoxidation. (+)-3-Carene yields, under the same conditions, (+)-chaminic acid together with (+)-3-carene-5-one and a compound with a cleaved cyclopropan...

Description
Summary:(+)-2-Carene is oxidized to (-)-isochaminic acid by Mycobacterium smegmatis DSM 43061. The side product (+)-2-carene-4-one is formed partially by autoxidation. (+)-3-Carene yields, under the same conditions, (+)-chaminic acid together with (+)-3-carene-5-one and a compound with a cleaved cyclopropane ring, 2-(3'-methylcyclohexa-3',5'-dienyl)propane-2-ol.
