Summary The metabolic formation of eitherα,ω-dodecanedioic acid orα,ω-tridecanedioic acid from the individual n-alkane, n-alcohol, n-monoacid andα,ω-diol with corresponding carbon chain length using K-carrageenan entrapped mutants S76 ofCandida tropicalis was studied. The immobilized cells of S76 could also directly produceω-hydroxy acid andα,ω-dioic acid fromα,ω-diol. With n-alcohol and n-monoacid as substrate, the amount ofω-hydroxy acid andα,ω-dioic acid produced was also a function of the incubation time. The results demonstrated that in the immobilized cells of S76 the formation ofα,ω-dioic acid from n-alcohol can also run both via n-monoacid and viaα,ω-diol as well as in the normal cells of S76.
