Microbial Production of Amino Acids From Hydrocarbons.

Year: 1963

Type: article

Abstract: 1. Screening tests for bacterial strains which can produce glutamic acid from petroleum or related hydrocarbons were carried out.2. Various bacteria were found to display capabilities of accumulating glutamic acid in the cultural broth containing kerosine, light oil, heavy oil or liquid paraffin as the carbon source. 3. The highest level of glutamic acid production from kerosine, i.e. 281μg/ml, was obtained with a strain of Corynebacterium hydrocarboclastus.
