Identification of esters isolated from culture fluids of bacteria growing upon terminal olefins indicates that bacteria oxidize olefins at the saturated methyl group, leaving the double bond intact. The yeast Candida lipolytica produces alpha-glycols from olefins, presumably by attacking the double bond.
从生长在末端烯烃上的细菌培养液中分离出的酯的鉴定表明,细菌在饱和甲基上氧化烯烃,使双键保持完整。酵母 Candida lipolytica 从烯烃产生α-二醇,大概是通过攻击双键。
