The Oxidation of 1,8-Cineole by Pseudomonas flava

Abstract

Growth experiments of Pseudomonas flava, with cineole and various metabolites of cineole as the sole carbon and energy sources, yielded results which require alterations to a scheme by which P. flava is proposed to utilize these compounds. The optical purity of the metabolites obtained from achiral cineole has been reinvestigated.
