Application

Application Comment Organism
synthesis use of enzyme for the synthesis of aliphatic esters. The maximum yield of ethyl caproate reaches 99.2% at a cutinase concentration of 50 U/ml, 40°C, and water content of 0.5%. The cutinase-catalyzed esterification displays strong tolerance for water content (up to 8%) and acid concentration (up to 0.8 M). Ester yields of more than 98% and 95% are achieved for acids of C3-C8 and alcohols of C1-C6, respectively Thermobifida fusca
