| Abstract: | In the course of investigation of alicyclic hydrocarbon-utilizing microorganisms, five strains of ethylcyclohexane-utilizing bacteria were isolated from soil samples.Among those bacteria, the strain S6B1 that was identified as Alcaligenes faecalis, showed the best growth in shaking culture.The strain S6B1 was found to produce 4-ethylcyclohexanol from ethylcyclohexane.This substance separated from culture broth was purified and identified to be trans-4-ethylcyclohexanol by the use of NMR. |
