Popis: This communication examines the oxidation of alkanes and alkenes by Pseudomonas oleovorans. A variety of substrates were tested in order to extend the practical use of P. oleovorans for the synthesis of chiral epoxides. Concludes that hydrocarbon fermentations of P. oleovorans might be an important tool not only in the production of epoxides but also in the production of aliphatic polyesters and biosurfactants.
