Brunerie, P. published the artcileBioconversion of citronellol by Botrytis cinerea, Application of 2-(2-Hydroxypropan-2-yl)-5-methylcyclohexanol, the main research area is must citronellol metabolism Botrytis.
Bioconversion of citronellol (I) was studied with 4 strains of B. cinerea. Using grape must, predominant transformation of I to 2,6-dimethyl-1,8-octanediol (II) and (E)-2,6-dimethyl-2-octene-1,8-diol 3 was observed In minor amounts 2,6-dimethyl-2,8-octanediol (III), 2 p-menthane-3,8-diol isomers (IV and V), (Z)-2,6-dimethyl-2-octene-1,8-diol, isopulegol, 2-methyl-2-hepten-6-on-1-ol, and 2-methyl-γ-butyrolactone were found. Using a small amount of grape must in a synthetic medium the bioconversion products II, III, IV, and V were absent, but addnl. 2-methyl-2-heptene-6-one, 2-methyl-2-heptene-6-ol, and citronellic acid were detected. The results obtained were strongly dependent on the strains used; 1 strain did not show any metabolic activity against I.
Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology published new progress about Botrytis cinerea. 42822-86-6 belongs to class alcohols-buliding-blocks, name is 2-(2-Hydroxypropan-2-yl)-5-methylcyclohexanol, and the molecular formula is C10H20O2, Application of 2-(2-Hydroxypropan-2-yl)-5-methylcyclohexanol.
