TABLE 2.

Inhibition of CH₄ oxidation by Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b (OD₆₀₀, 0.06) with selected monoterpenes (concentration, 1.8 mM)

Expt	Compound added	% Inhibition of CH4 oxidationa
A	(−)-α-Pinene	96 ± 5
	α-Pinene oxide	−3 ± 0.1
	(−)-β-Pinene	41 ± 4
	R-(+)-Limonene	84 ± 22
	S-(−)-Limonene	93 ± 16
	(+)-Limonene oxide	29 ± 7
	α-Terpinene	25 ± 6
	γ-Terpinene	82 ± 10
B	(−)-α-Pinene	89 ± 5
	β-Myrcene	7 ± 1
	(±)-Linalool	68 ± 3
	α-Terpineol	48 ± 3

^aBased on CO₂ production over 1.8 days and compared to a control to which no monoterpene was added. The amounts produced in controls for experiments A and B were 81.1 and 44.6 μmol flask⁻¹, respectively. The values are means ± standard errors of the means determined from duplicate experiments.
