Abstract
Acetobacter acetii, a local isolate transformed (+)-3-carene. b-Cyclodextrin enhanced the stability of the products and also aided the generation of step-wise transformation giving rise to oxygented derivatives at positions 2,3,4 and 5. Both the control and b-cyclodextrin mediated transformations gave rise to 17 transformation products which included 8-hydroxy-m-cymene, carane-3,4-diol-2,5-dione, 3-carene-2-ol-5-one, 3,4-epoxy-carane, 3-carene-2,5-diol and carane-carboxylic acid. A plausible orientation of (+)-3-carene inside b-cyclodextrin cavity is also suggested.
