Abstract excerpt
Nocardia cholesterolicum NRRL 5767 is well-known for its ability to convert oleic acid to 10-hydroxystearic acid (~88%, w/w) and 10-ketostearic acid (~11%, w/w). Conversion of oleic acid to 10-hydroxystearic acid and then to 10-ketostearic acid has been proposed to be catalyzed by oleate hydratase and secondary alcohol dehydrogenase, respectively. Hydroxy fatty acids are value-added with many industrial...
