biotransformation reactions with geraniol (1) as substrate.
A culture of the mudflat-derived Thielavia hyalocarpa was
able to metabolize and transform compound 1 to a more polar
metabolite. Therefore, this strain was selected for preparative-
scale fermentation of 1.
Examination of the biotransformation-culture broth led to
the isolation of a metabolite (2) (Figure 1).
