Biological conversion of alkanes to dicarboxylic acids : an investigation into process challenges and optimisation in hydrocarbon-based bioprocesses
The focus of this project is bioconversion of alkanes to dicarboxylic acids. Dicarboxylic acids are versatile chemical intermediates that can be used in the manufacture of perfumes, polymers, adhesives and antibiotics. The use of a hydrocarbon in a biological process, however, introduces several pro...
