A bacterium capable of utilizing citronellal or citral as the sole source of carbon and energy has been isolated from soil by the enrichment culture technique. It metabolizes citronellal to citronellic acid (65%), citronellol (0.6%), dihydrocitronellol (0.6%), menthol (0.75%), and 3,7-dimethyl-1,7-octane diol (1.7%). The metabolites of citral were geranic acid (62%), 6-methyl-5-heptanoic acid (0.5%), 3-methyl-2-butenoic acid (1%), and 1-hydroxy-3, 7-dimethyl-6-octen-2-one (0.75%).
通过富集培养技术从土壤中分离出了一种能够利用香茅醛或柠檬醛作为唯一碳源和能源的细菌。它将香茅醛代谢为香茅酸（65%）、香茅醇（0.6%）、二氢香茅醇（0.6%）、薄荷醇（0.75%）和3,7-二甲基-1,7-辛二醇（1.7%）。柠檬醛的代谢产物为香叶酸（62%）、6-甲基-5-庚酸（0.5%）、3-甲基-2-丁烯酸（1%）和1-羟基-3,7-二甲基-6-辛烯-2-酮（0.75%）。
