An organism isolated from soil samples collected near a terpene plant grew in the presence of 1-menthene, with no other major source of carbon and energy. The organism was tentatively identified as a member of the genus Cladosporium. When this organism was grown in the presence of 1-menthene, with no other major source of carbon, substantial quantities of beta-isopropyl glutaric acid accumulated in the fermentation medium. beta-Isopropyl glutaric acid is probably an end product of the degradation of 1-menthene by the organism.
从萜烯植物附近采集的土壤样本中分离出的一种生物体，在仅以1-薄荷烯作为碳和能量主要来源的情况下能够生长。该生物体初步鉴定为枝孢属的成员。当此生物体在仅以1-薄荷烯作为碳主要来源的情况下生长时，大量的β-异丙基戊二酸在发酵培养基中积累。β-异丙基戊二酸可能是该生物体降解1-薄荷烯的终产物。
