DE   limonene 1,2-monooxygenase.
CA   (1) (4S)-limonene + NADPH + O2 + H(+) = limonene 1,2-epoxide + NADP(+) +
CA   H2O.
CA   (2) (4S)-limonene + NADH + O2 + H(+) = limonene 1,2-epoxide + NAD(+) +
CA   H2O.
CA   (3) (4R)-limonene + NADH + O2 + H(+) = limonene 1,2-epoxide + NAD(+) +
CA   H2O.
CA   (4) (4R)-limonene + NADPH + O2 + H(+) = limonene 1,2-epoxide + NADP(+) +
CA   H2O.
CC   -!- Limonene is the most widespread terpene and is formed by more than
CC       300 plants.
CC   -!- Rhodococcus erythropolis DCL14, a Gram-positive bacterium, is able to
CC       grow on both (S)-limonene and (R)-limonene as the sole source of
CC       carbon and energy.
CC   -!- NADPH can act instead of NADH, although more slowly.
CC   -!- It has not been established if the product formed is optically pure
CC       or a mixture of two enantiomers.
