PURPOSE:To prepare a wax ester useful for the polishing agent, etc. easily at a low cost, by culturing a protozoa, Euglena, and maintaining the cell under anaerobic condition; and to obtain a higher alcohol and fatty acid by saponifying said wax ester. CONSTITUTION:A protozoa, Euglena, is cultured aerobically, and the cells are maintained under anaerobic condition to convert the accumulated polysaccharide, paramylon, quantitatively to a wax ester. If necessary, the ester is saponified to produce a higher alcohol and fatty acid. |
