title: Stereospecific hydroxylation of (+)-cedrol by using human skin microbial flora Staphylococcus epidermidis.
abstract: Microbial transformation of (+)-cedrol was investigated by using Staphylococcus epidermidis and found that stereospecific hydroxylation of (+)-cedrol occurred at the C-3 position to form (+)-(3S)-3-hydroxycedrol.
