Zusammenfassung:A method for producing a menthol isomer is disclosed, comprising: (i) providing a microorganism modified to have increased expression of an ene reductase and one or more menthone dehydrogenase; (ii) contacting said microorganism, or a protein-containing extract thereof, with a biosynthetic precursor of said menthol isomer; and (iii) maintaining the mixture of step (ii) under conditions suitable for biotransformation of said biosynthetic precursor to said menthol isomer.
