Adipic Acid → Methyl Laurate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Fermentation of dodecane with strain H534 under the standard fermentation conditions (Example 20) produced approximately 139 g/l within 233 hrs with a substrate conversion efficiency of 32.1%. The final production rate was 0.58 g/l/hr. The product was 82.7% dodecanedioic acid. The remaining product was predominantly adipic acid. With methyl laurate as the substrate, H534 produced 115.3 g/l dicarboxylic acid within 223 hrs with a substrate conversion efficiency of 34.6%. The production rate was 0.49 g/l/hr. The product was 89.1% dodecanedioic acid. The remaining product was predominantly adipic acid.
