title: Microbial Transformations of (+)-Isomenthol by Fusarium lini and Rhizopus stolonifer.
abstract: Microbial transformation of (+)-isomenthol (1) by various strains of fungi was investigated. Fusarium lini has successfully converted compound 1 into a new metabolite, 5α-hydroxyisomenthol (2), and a known metabolite, 1α-hydroxyisomenthol (3), whereas incubation with Rhizopus stolonifer only yielded metabolite 3. The transformed metabolites were structurally characterized on the basis of their spectral data.
