Biological Activities of a-Pinene and β-Pinene Enantiomers [PDF]
Molecules, 2012 The antimicrobial activities of the isomers and enantiomers of pinene were evaluated against bacterial and fungal cells. The agar diffusion test showed that only the positive enantiomers of the a- and β-isomers of pinene were active.

ACS Synthetic Biology, 2014 The volumetric heating values of today's biofuels are too low to power energy-intensive aircraft, rockets, and missiles. Recently, pinene dimers were shown to have a volumetric heating value similar to that of the tactical fuel JP-10. To provide a sustainable source of pinene, we engineered Escherichia coli for pinene production.

Physiological, biochemical and phytohormone responses of Elymus nutans to α-pinene-induced allelopathy [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 The α-pinene is the main allelochemical of many weeds that inhibit the growth of Elymus nutans, an important forage and ecological restoration herbage. However, the response changes of α-pinene-induced allelopathy to E. nutans is still unclear.
