Heptanoic acid, propyl ester

PHAS containing alkyl ester derivatives as monomers. Cultures of P. oleovorans grown on media containing mixtures of methyl heptanoate, ethyl heptano-ate or propyl heptanoate and heptanoic acid accumulated polymers containing as monomers certain (/ )-3-hydroxy derivatives of these alkyl esters. The presence of monomers with pendant ester groups was maximum in the PHAs whose units were obtained from methyl heptanoate, whereas fermentations performed with ethyl heptanoate resulted in the formation of unsubstituted PHAs (Scholz et al. 1994).
