Abstract

In this study, biotransformation of menthol by sporulated surface culture of Aspergillus niger and Penicillium sp. was studied. The main bioconversion product obtained from menthol of A. niger was cis-p-menthan-7-ol and the main products obtained by surface Penicillium sp. were limonene, p-cymene and γ-terpinene using sporulated surface culture. The pathways involved in the biotransformation of menthol by A. niger and Penicillium sp. to main products are also discussed.
