Escherichia coli BL21, expressing a quintuple mutant of P450(BM-3), oxyfunctionalizes alpha-pinene in an NADPH-dependent reaction to alpha-pinene oxide, verbenol, and myrtenol. We optimized the whole-cell biocatalyst by integrating a recombinant intracellular NADPH regeneration system through co-expression of a glucose facilitator

Over 20 gram-positive bacteria were isolated by elective culture with (+/-)-alpha-pinene as the sole carbon source. One of these strains, Nocardia sp. strain P18.3, was selected for detailed study. alpha-Pinene-grown cells oxidized, without lag, alpha-pinene, alpha-pinene oxide (epoxide), and the

The feasibility of trans-2-methyl-5-isopropylhexa-2,5-dienoic acid (novalic acid) accumulation using the alpha-pinene degradation pathway of Pseudomonas rhodesiae CIP 107491 was studied. This appeared possible by using concentrated living bacterial cells produced under oxygen limitation with alpha-pinene as sole carbon source. The
