abstract：:A bacterial strain, designated KSM-7358, that can use alpha-cedrene for growth was isolated. The strain was identified as a member of the genus Rhodococcus and catalyzed the novel allylic oxidation of alpha-cedrene regiospecifically to produce (R)-10-hydroxycedrene (sec-cedrenol) with a very high yield. alpha-Curcumen...
