Biotransformation of ( ) and (+)-citronellene by the larvae of common cutworm Spodoptera liturdt as biocatalyst. Proceedings of 49th TEAC, 2005. pp. 426 427.)... 

Citronellene (309) and (-E)-citronellene (309 ) were biotransformed by the cutworm Spodoptera litura to give (31 )-3,7-dimethyl-6-octene-l,2-diol (310) and (35)-3,7-dimethyl-6-octene-l,2-diol (310 ), respectively (Takeuchi and Miyazawa, 2005) (Figure 14.3). 

P-Myrcene (302) was converted by common cutworm larvae, Spodoptera litura, to give myrcene-3, (10)-glycol (308) viamyrcene-3,(10)-epoxide (307) (Miyazawa et al., 1998). Citronellene (309) was metabolized by cutworm Spodoptera litura to give 3,7-dimethyl-6-octene-l,2-diol (310) (Takechi and Miyazawa, 2005). Myrcene (302) is metabolized to two kinds of diols (303 and 304), myrcenol (305), and ocimene (306) (Seubert and Fass, 1964 Abraham et al., 1985). Citronellene (309) was metabolized to (310) by Spodoptera litura (Takeuchi and Miyazawa, 2005).
