Fatty acids are a promising raw material for substance production because of their highly reduced and anhydrous nature, which can provide higher fermentation yields than sugars. However, they are insoluble in water and are poorly utilized by microbes in industrial fermentation production. We used ...
In a novel method,the synthesis of alpha and beta forms of penta as well as octa acetyl derivatives of several sugars under microwave irradiation with improved yields is described.Acetylation is among one of the most important reactions ... BS Patil,VVS Babu - 《Indian Journal of Chemistry》 ...
Alpha oxidation is a technique in which certain fatty acids undergo breakdown by the removal of a single carbon from thecarboxylend of the molecule. Beta oxidation is a catabolic process in which fatty acid molecules are broken down inside the cytosol of prokaryotes and in the mitochondria in eu...
In addition, we assessed the capacity for fatty acid oxidation in the gill from an Antarctic species. Activities of rate-limiting or regulatory enzymes from pathways of energy metabolism were measured at physiological temperatures (15° or 1°C). In the temperate species, ATP yields from gluco...
These microorganisms are able to synthesize lactones de novo or by biotransformation of fatty acids with higher yields. Obtained lactone concentrations are compatible with industrial production, although detailed metabolic pathways have not been completely elucidated. The biotransformation of ricinoleic acid ...
