Geraniol is an important component in essential oils of aromatic plants such as lemongrass, rosa grass, and many others. It can be converted to different high-value products by using microbes/enzymes. The present study aims at the isolation and screening of microbes showing efficient production of geranic acid (a high-value product) from geraniol (a low-value monoterpene). IIIMF4011, isolated from the soil sample of (Lemongrass), showed biotransformation of geraniol to geranic acid. After optimization of reaction parameters, 97-100% conversion of geraniol to geranic acid was obtained after 72 h of incubation at 28 °C. Furthermore, the biotransformation reaction was also carried out in a 3 L fermentor (working volume 1.5 L), and 98.89% conversion was observed. Therefore, an efficient process of geranic acid production using IIIMF4011 was developed.
香叶醇是香茅、玫瑰草等芳香植物精油中的重要成分。通过微生物/酶,它可以转化为不同的高价值产品。本研究旨在分离和筛选能从香叶醇(一种低价值单萜)高效生产香叶酸(一种高价值产品)的微生物。从(香茅)土壤样本中分离出的IIIMF4011显示出香叶醇向香叶酸的生物转化。在优化反应参数后,在28℃孵育72小时后,香叶醇向香叶酸的转化率达到了97 - 100%。此外,生物转化反应也在3升发酵罐(工作体积1.5升)中进行,观察到转化率为98.89%。因此,开发了一种使用IIIMF4011生产香叶酸的高效工艺。
