Bioconversion of R-(+)-limonene to perillic acid by the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica
Perillyl derivatives are increasingly important due to their flavouring and antimicrobial properties as well as their potential as anticancer agents. These terpenoid species, which are present in limited amounts in plants, may be obtained via bioconversion of selected monoterpene hydrocarbons. In th...
