Lactobacillus kefiri

Tan, A.W.I., Fischbach, M., Huebner, H. et al. (2006) Synthesis of enantiopure (5/ )-hydroxyhexane-2-one with immobilised whole cells of Lactobacillus kefiri. Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 71 (3), 289-293. 

Tan et al. [29] demonstrated the use of a plug flow reactor of immobilized Lactobacillus kefiri cells for the synthesis of the intermediate (5I )-hydroxyhexane-2-one. This immobilized-cell reactor operated at a maximum conversion yield of 100% and a selectivity of 95%. The production of (5/ )-hydroxyhexane-2-one was extended to an operation time of 6 days. During this time (91 residence times), a space-time yield of 87gL xday 1 and a productivity of 07 8 gwet cell weight 1 were obtained.
