S. Oda et al., Synthesis of citronellyl acetate via a transacetylation to citronellol from acetyl coenzyme A produced from glucose and acetate in growing yeasts, CHEM LETT, (6), 2001, pp. 500-501
A novel coupling system, which is an acetylation system of primary alcohols
with acetyl coenzyme A [acetyl-CoA] formed via the metabolism of glucose a
nd acetate, was developed with Hansenula and Pichia. The supplementation of
sodium acetate to glucose as the source of acetyl-CoA was effective to enh
ance the reaction rate and yield of acetylation of citronellol.
