title: Introduction of oxygenated functional groups into 3-carene and 2-pinene by cultured cells.
abstract: The biotransformation of the monoterpene hydrocarbons 3-carene and 2-pinene by cell suspension cultures of Nicotiana tabacum and Catharanthus roseus was investigated. The cultures have the ability to regio- and enantioselectively introduce the oxygenated functional groups into the C = C double bond and the allylic positions of the substrates.
