The biotransformation of (-)-myrtenol (1) and (-)-nopol (2) by Aspergillus tamarii MRC 72400 was described. The biotransformation of (-)-myrtenol (1) with A. tamarii for 7 days afforded (-)-p-menth-1-en-7,8-diol (3). The biotransformation of (-)-nopol (2) by A. tamarii for 7 days afforded (-)-7-hydroxymethyl-1-p-menthen-8-ol (4).
