| Microbial Reduction of Aromatic Carboxylic Acids  | | | | Abstract
| Several benzoic, cinnamic and phenylacetic acid derivatives were screened with 20 micro organisms, mainly fungi, for the reduction o f their carboxylic function. For all organisms sev eral compounds were reduced in fairly good yields up to 80% to the corresponding alcohol. N o general rule could be established, concerning the substitution pattern, as to which com pounds were transformed to the alcohol. Generally the reactions were accomplished within 4 8 -7 0 h. Only minor, if any, side products were detected. Dicarboxylic acids, such as phthalic or phenylglutaric acids and similar com pounds could not be reduced by the microorganisms tested. | | | |
