Reaction Steps

A 0.5 mM solution of benzoic acid containing 0.2 mM chloromethane and buffered at pH 4.0 with 20 mM citrate buffer was incubated with 0.035 g of fungal mycelium (Phellinus ribis NCWRF. FPRL 42 or CBS 175.29) for a period of 15 hours at a temperature of 25° C. Methyl benzoate was formed at a rate of 77 nanomoles/g fungal mycelium/hour.
