Abstract
Candida rugosa JF 101 capable of growing in mineral salts with individual pure alkanes as a sole carbon source produced a series of acids from decane. They have been identified as decanoic, decanedioic, octane-dioic, adipic, and succinic acids. The intermediate oxidation products of decane has been isolated by resting-cell experiment and identified as decyl alcohol and decyl aldehyde. The degradation pathway of decane is discussed.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
