Functional characterization of a 28-Kilobase Catabolic Island from Pseudomonas sp. Strain M1 involved in biotransformation of β-Myrcene and related plant-derived volatiles [PDF]
Pseudomonas sp. strain M1 is able to mineralize highly hydrophobic and recalcitrant compounds, such as benzene, phenol, and their methylated/halogenated derivatives, as well as the backbone of several monoterpenes.

Thermal Isomerization of Various Acyclic Monoterpene Hydrocarbons
The thermal isomerization of myrcene (1), dihydramyrcene (2), and alloacimene (3) in the presence of ZnCl2-KCl-NaCl fused salts (Chlorate fused salts) or NaNO2-NaNO3-KNO3 fused salts (Nitrate fused salts) was carried out under different temperatures and the salt effect of the products was studied.

Acyclic halogenated monoterpenes from marine macroalgae: Estimated atmospheric lifetimes, potential degradation products, and their atmospheric impacts [PDF]
The selected acyclic halogenated monoterpenes derived from red macroalgae are investigated in terms of their isolation, their reactions with oxidants (ozone, OH radical) and the impacts of the first-generation oxidation products on the atmosphere.

Laboratory and field measurements of enantiomeric monoterpene emissions as a function of chemotype, light and temperature [PDF]
Plants emit significant amounts of monoterpenes into the earth's atmosphere, where they react rapidly to form a multitude of gas phase species and particles. Many monoterpenes exist in mirror-image forms or enantiomers.
