C. Deandres et al., 7,10-DIHYDROXY-8(E)-OCTADECENOIC ACID PRODUCED BY PSEUDOMONAS-42A2 - EVALUATION OF DIFFERENT CULTURAL PARAMETERS OF THE FERMENTATION, World journal of microbiology & biotechnology, 10(1), 1994, pp. 106-109
A fermentation process for the microbial production of a new lipid sur
face-active compound, 7,10-dihydroxy-8 (E)-octadecenoic acid (OCD), ha
s been established using a vegetable oil as carbon source in a coordin
ated carbon/nitrogen feed strategy. The surfactant was produced during
the logarithmic growth phase. Aeration was the most critical paramete
r for product formation. Up to 7 g product/l was produced.
