MCFA production from glucose

The conversion of organic wastes into medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) such as caproate has attracted much attention, while the effects of toxic compounds on the process have rarely been studied. The present study investigated the effects of phenol (0-1.5 g/L), which are present in various organic wastes, on the caproate production from glucose

将有机废弃物转化为己酸（caproate）这类中链脂肪酸（medium chain fatty acids, MCFAs）的研究已受到广泛关注，然而有毒化合物对该过程的影响却鲜有报道。本研究考察了广泛存在于多种有机废弃物中的苯酚（0~1.5 g/L）对以葡萄糖为底物合成己酸的影响。
