Produktinformation

• Name: (±)-3-Hydroxyoctanoic acid
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: (±)-3-Hydroxyoctanoic acid is a fatty acid that is produced by the bacterial strain Pseudomonas putida. This compound is involved in energy metabolism and cell division as an intermediate in the synthesis of polymers. The hydroxyl group on this molecule can be used to synthesize various compounds, such as cyclic lipopeptides. The production of (±)-3-hydroxyoctanoic acid can be increased by dehydrogenase deficiency or by culturing cells under aerobic conditions. It has been shown that (±)-3-hydroxyoctanoic acid is also an important component for wastewater treatment, because it can be degraded by bacteria to produce carbon dioxide and water, which are then released into the atmosphere.
