Biotransformation of (+)- and (-)-bornyl acetate using the plant parasitic fungus Glomerella cingulata as a biocatalyst
The microbial transformations of (+)- and (-)-bornyl acetate were investigated using the plant parasitic fungus, Glomerella cingulata. As a result, (+)- and (-)-bornyl acetate were converted to (+)- and (-)-5-exo-hydroxybornyl acetate, (+)- and (-)-5-oxobornyl acetate and (+)- and (-)-borneol respectively. The structures of the metabolic products were determined by spectroscopic data.
