PROCESSO PER LA PRODUZIONE MICROBIOLOGICA DI CHETONI

摘要

A process is disclosed for the microbiological production of ketones from C3-C6 alkanes by contacting C3-C6 alkanes under aerobic conditions with resting microbial cells derived from a methylotrophic microorganism or enzyme preparation derived from said cells, wherein the microorganism has been previously grown under aerobic conditions in a nutrient medium containing methane or dimethyl ether.
