Abstract

Biotransformation of 3, 6-dialkylcyclohexane-1, 2-diones by cell suspension cultures of Marchantia polymorpha involves regioselective oxidative cleavage of the C–C bond to give the corresponding oxocarboxylic acids shortened by one carbon unit. In the case of cyclohexane-1, 2-dione, adipic acid was obtained.
