Abstract
A strain of Byssochlamys sp. produced beta-hydroxypropionic acid when grown on media containing high concentrations of acrylic acid. The max imal production of beta-hydroxypropionic acid was 4.8% when the initia l culture medium contained 7% acrylic acid and 2% glucose, and the ini tial culture pH was adjusted to 7.0. beta-Hydroxypropionic acid produc tion from acrylic acid depended greatly on the pH of the culture mediu m. Calcium hydroxide was the best neutralizer.
