The ability of actinobacteria of the genus Rhodococcus to biotransform the monoterpenoid (–)-isopulegol has been established for the first time. R. rhodochrous strain IEGM 1362 was selected as a bacterium capable of metabolizing (–)-isopulegol to form new, previously unknown, 10-hydroxy (2) and 10-c...
