A. Brakemeier et al., MICROBIAL ALKYL-SOPHOROSIDES BASED ON 1-DODECANOL OR 2-DODECANONE, 3-DODECANONE OR 4-DODECANONE, Biotechnology letters, 20(3), 1998, pp. 215-218
Candida bombicola was first cultivated on 150 g glucose l(-1) and 4 g
yeast extract l(-1) and subsequently provided with 1-dodecanol (15 g l
(-1)) or 2-, 3- or 4-dodecanone (10 g l(-1)). As a result, novel surfa
ce active sophorose lipids with glycosidically linked primary or secon
dary fatty alcohols (major compounds) were isolated in yields between
12 g l(-1) and 17 g l(-1).
