Summary
This paper reports the production of 2-phenylacetaldehyde from 2-phenylethanol by acetic bacteria. Several strains of acetic bacteria were investigated and three were found to be effective for this bioconversion. Different conditions (different C source for the microorganisms, pH, substrate concentration, cell immobilization) were tested with yields ranging from 30 to 52.6%.
