Gas chromatogram demonstration of the absence of stereoselectivity of the linalool isomerase. Soluble protein extract (1.4 mg protein; solid line) and inner membrane-enriched fraction (1.6 mg protein; dashed line) from spheroplast disintegration were incubated with geraniol, subsequently extracted with n-hexane and analyzed by gas chromatography. Retention times: (R)- and (S)-linalool 7.85 and 8.05 min, geraniol 12.45 min
