| Accepted name: |

| Reaction: |

| Glossary: |
linalool = 3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-dien-3-ol |
| Other name(s): |
linalool hydro-lyase (myrcene-forming) |
| Systematic name: |
(3S)-linalool hydro-lyase (myrcene-forming) |
| Comments: |
In absence of oxygen the bifunctional linalool dehydratase-isomerase can catalyse in vitro two reactions, the hydration of myrcene to (3S)-linalool and the isomerization of (3S)-linalool to geraniol, the latter activity being classified as EC 5.4.4.4, geraniol isomerase. |
