Abstract: | Summary A strain of the bacterium Serratia marcescens, isolated from sewage sludge, can oxidise the terpene hydrocarbon -pinene to produce rans-verbenol as the major product, with verbeone and trans-sobrerol as minor products. A change in nitrogen source and inclusion of glucose as a second carbon source caused the bacterium to produce -terpineol as the major oxidation product. Products were identified by gas liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. |
