Abstract

Microorganisms which can assimilate 2-phenylethanol were screened from soil for oxidation of various alcohols into carbonyl compounds. One strain, identified as Brevibacterium sp. KU1309, had high oxidative activity towards ArCH(CH₃)CH₂OH and Ar(CH₂)_nOH. When the substrate concentration was 0.1∼0.4% (w/v), the oxidation reaction proceeded smoothly (6∼96 h), and the corresponding carboxylates were obtained in good yields (68∼87%).
