Carvone reductase (EC 1.3.99.25) is an enzyme with systematic name (+)-dihydrocarvone:acceptor 1,6-oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
(1) (+)-dihydrocarvone + acceptor
⇌
{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
(-)-carvone + reduced acceptor
(2) (-)-isodihydrocarvone + acceptor
⇌
{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
(+)-carvone + reduced acceptor
This enzyme participates in the carveol and dihydrocarveol degradation pathway of the Gram-positive bacterium Rhodococcus erythropolis DCL14.
