Abstract
Acetobacter acetii DSMZ3508 and related bacteria converted 2,2-dimethy l-1,3-propanediol into 3-hydroxypivalic acid (2,2-dimethyl-3-hydroxypr opionic acid; 3HP) during submerged cultivation in mineral salt medium , The maximum yield of 3-hydroxypivalic: acid was 24.4% of the fed sub strate after 18 days. Cultivation parameters, as pH, cell density, opt imal substrate concentration, and oxygen supply for the bioconversion process were determined.
