Abstract
Acetobacter pasteurianus NCIMB 11664 was selected for multigram-scale production of different aliphatic carboxylic acids through oxidation o f the corresponding alcohols after screening different acetic acid bac teria. Continuous production was carried out using an air-lift reactor , with overall yields of 1-propionic, l-butyric, 2-methyl-1-butyric an d 3-methyl-1-butyric acids ranging from 45 to 61 g dm(-3).
