Oxidation of alcohols to acids and ketones by Hansenula polymorpha

Hansenula polymorpha grown on a medium containing methanol and suspended in such a medium oxidized primary aliphatic alcohols to the carboxylic acid, including some containing four and five carbon atoms. Ethylene glycol was converted to glycolic acid and ethoxyethanol was converted to acetone. The s...

Zusammenfassung:Hansenula polymorpha grown on a medium containing methanol and suspended in such a medium oxidized primary aliphatic alcohols to the carboxylic acid, including some containing four and five carbon atoms. Ethylene glycol was converted to glycolic acid and ethoxyethanol was converted to acetone. The secondary alcohol isopropanol was converted to acetone.
