While fermentation of myrcene and ocimene led to products in very low yields, good yields were obtained by protection and activation of the diene moiety by sulfur dioxide. Microbial hydroxylations of the sulfolenes 1 and 14 yielded 8-hydroxycompounds in up to 60% yield. Bacteria favour the 8Z- while fungi produce mainly the 8E-alcohol. The bacterium Sebeika benihana NRRL 11111 oxidized myrcene sulfone
