| 摘要 |
A process for producing fatty acid esters of sugars by fermentation which comprises culturing a hydrocarbon-assimilating micro-organism under aerobic conditions in an aqueous nutrient medium containing hydrocarbons as the main source of carbon. Good yields are obtained using n-paraffins of six to 25 carbon atoms or kerosene as the hydrocarbon in the medium. Exemplary micro-organisms are those belonging to the genus Arthrobacter, Brevibacterium, Micrococcus, Corynebacterium, Mycobacterium, Candida, or Aspergillus. |
