Abstract excerpt
Omega hydroxycarboxylic acids (ω-HAs) possess two functional groups, a hydroxyl group and a carboxyl group, and are essential precursors for the production of biodegradable polyester polymers. In this work, an Acidovorax mutant was investigated as a whole-cell biocatalyst for the conversion of cycloalkanes to their respective ω-hydroxycarboxylic acids. This Acidovorax sp. strain CHX100 originated from a...
