Strain Information

Information
Production of yeast protein from hydrocarbons (US Patent 4,226,939). Produces natural flavor aldehydes (Murray WD, 1989). Converts ethanol to acetaldehyde (Duff SJ, Murray WD, 1988a; Duff SJ, Murray WD, 1988b; Duff SJ, Murray WD, 1988c; Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 36: 82-86, 1991; Enzyme Microb. Technol. 11: 770-775, 1989). Degrades ethyl alcohol (ethanol) (Duff SJ, Murray WD, 1988a; Duff SJ, Murray WD, 1988b; Duff SJ, Murray WD, 1988c; Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 36: 82-86, 1991; Enzyme Microb. Technol. 11: 770-775, 1989). Degrades hydrogen peroxide (Duff SJB, Murray WD, 1990). Produces acetaldehyde (Duff SJ, Murray WD, 1988a; Duff SJ, Murray WD, 1988b; Duff SJ, Murray WD, 1988c; Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 36: 82-86, 1991; Enzyme Microb. Technol. 11: 770-775, 1989). Produces alcohol oxidase (Murray WD, et al, 1989; Murray WD, et al, 1990; Agric. Biol. Chem. 54: 1879-1882, 1990).
