MICROBIAL OXIDATION OF MONOTERPENE BY SOIL BACTERIA

R. Sirisha Katherine, Dr. M. Ravi Kumar

Abstract :

 The present study involved in the isolation of microorganisms from petroleum contaminated soil that are able to biotransform limonene to various reaction products. Fermentation of limonene by isolated bacteria was conducted for 120 h at 300 C at 150 rpm.Bioconversion products were identified as L–carveol, D–carvone,limonene glycol and other biotransformed products by Gas chromatography–Mass spectroscopic techniques
