MICROBIOLOGICAL PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF 6-HYDROXYPICOLINIC ACID

A microbiological process is disclosed for the production of 6-hydroxypicolinic acid starting from picolinic acid and/or a salt thereof. The concentration of picolinic acid and/or salt thereof is selected so that the 6-hydroxypicolinic acid is not further metabolized upon formation. The process is p...

Zusammenfassung:A microbiological process is disclosed for the production of 6-hydroxypicolinic acid starting from picolinic acid and/or a salt thereof. The concentration of picolinic acid and/or salt thereof is selected so that the 6-hydroxypicolinic acid is not further metabolized upon formation. The process is performed either by using microorganisms of the genus Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Alcaligenes, Aerococcus, or Rhodotorula, or with a biomass able to use picolinic acid and grow with picolinic acid as the sole carbon, nitrogen and energy source.
