Process for producing polyesters by fermentation; a process for producing optically active carboxylic acids and esters

摘要: This invention relates to a process for producing polyester biopolymers by culturing Pseudomonas oleovorans bacteria on substrates comprising certain nutrients. The nature of the polyesters can be varied varying carbon source used. In this way with unsaturated double bonds produced, too. From polyesters, optically active carboxylic acids or esters are produced. polymers used making articles manufacture, such as sutures, films, skin and bone grafts.
