Biotransformation Of Ferulic Acid Extracted From Biomass To Biovanillin By Amycolatopsis Sp. Atcc 39116

This study focuses on the biotransformation of synthetic and extracted ferulic acid (FA) from lignocellulosic biomass using growing cells of Amyco/alopsis sp. ATCC 39116 as a biocatalyst. Preliminary alkaline hydrolysis showed that the hydrolyzate from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) contained...
