Does anyone know of any BD being produced using lipase type enzymes that are bacterial/plant derived? I came across a Russian abstract concerning esterification of LCFAās using enzymes from castor. Surely in our biotech age and where technology is so readily available for the determination and production of enzymes, that a group could be produced to produce the transesterification rxn at room temp and most importantly in an aqueous environment. This could well and truly simplify the processing. Of course ethanol could then be used in place of methanol so that a truly Īorganicā source of BD be produced. W.
