Resumo

Alkene-utilizing bacteria have been employed for producing Microorganisms epoxides from gaseous alkenes in either gas-solid' or multiphase bioreactors .2,3Such organisms contain an inducible alkene mono-oxygenase and consequently need to be cultivated on gaseous substrates such as either ethene or propeneThe isolation and characterization of the ethene-utilizing ~ycobacterium E3 and the propene-utilizing Xanthobacter Py2 used in this study has been described previously.'OJ
