Mentha x piperita (Lamiaceae) has been known since ancient times due to its aromatic and therapeutic properties. The differences in essential oil composition among the members of the genus Mentha offer a diversity of strains with high contents of menthone, menthol, carvone, linalool, or other valued terpenoid components synthesized by the mevalonic acid pathway. The species was analyzed anatomically. As biologic material, stems and leaves have been sampled from crops, during the vegetation period, before blooming. From an anatomical point of view, transverse sections were made through stems and leaves. At the level of the epidermis, both in the stem and in the leaf, the secretory and the tector trichomes were highlighted. The foliar limb is hypostomatic, with stomata in the inferior epidermis, the stomata being of the diacitic type. The mesophilus of the foliar is bifacial, having palisadic tissue with a single layer of cells, located under the superior epidermis and lacunar tissue, located under the inferior epidermis.

Odor Production

Musty taste and odor is a serious problem for drinking water. Much data regarding its occurrence are being accumulated. However, we may be able to solve this problem by inquiring into the nature of secondary metabolism through the mevalonic acid pathway in actinomycetes and/or cyanobacteria that yield musty smelling compounds. Therefore, genetic analysis is applied to look for new solutions. By investigating Streptomyces sp. with the protocol to recover plasmid DNA, it was difficult to get the infinitesimally small covalently closed circular (ccc) plasmid. On the other hand, Streptomyces strains which have been cured, which implicates plasmids, lost phenotypic characters such as musty odor production with aerial mycelium and pigment formation. DNA in Streptomyces are unstable and often cause amplification and deletion. The existence of giant linear plasmids was detected in musty smelling strains using pulsed – field gel electrophoresis.
