Oxidation of 1,6-hexanediol to adipic acid using resting cells of Gluconobacter oxydans and screening of the responsible enzyme(s)
Adipic acid (AA) has been a valuable industry chemical over the last century, whose production process carbon footprint resides far away from today’s environment-friendly ideals. Therefore, a biological approach for adipic acid production under mild conditions has been studied in this thesis. Wild-type strains of Gluconobacter oxydans have been cultivated to obtain resting cells that were used for
