Enzymatic systems involved in D-limonene biooxidation
The biooxidation of limonene by an Aspergillus strain resulted in the production of perillyl alcohol and short chain fatty acids. Addition of ketoconazole, a known inhibitor of cytochrome P450 oxydase, eliminated the production of free acids, but did not affect biotransformation to perillyl alcohol....

| Summary: | The biooxidation of limonene by an Aspergillus strain resulted in the production of perillyl alcohol and short chain fatty acids. Addition of ketoconazole, a known inhibitor of cytochrome P450 oxydase, eliminated the production of free acids, but did not affect biotransformation to perillyl alcohol.<br>A biooxidação do limoneno por uma linhagem de Aspergillus resulta na produção de álcool perílico e ácidos graxos de cadeia curta. A adição de quetoconazol, um conhecido inibidor da citocromo P450 oxidase, elimina a produção de ácidos graxos livres, mas não afeta a biotransformação a álcool perilhílico. |
