High commercial value compounds can be obtained through the microbial biotransformation of monoterpenes. Some of these monoterpenic substances are not expensive and produced in a variety of plant species. Biotransformation of some monoterpene hydrocarbons such as α-pinene, β-pinene, myrcene and p-cymene by 7 strain bacteria and 2 strain fungi was investigated. It was observed that some of microorganisms transformed monoterpenes to oxygenated monoterpenes in a good yield which among themStaphylococcus epidermidis showed higher yields.
