PROCESS FOR 2-KETOGLUCONATE REMOVAL FROM THE MIXTURE CONTAINING 2-KETOGULONATE AND 2-KETOGLUCONATE BY MEANS OF FERMENTATION 2-KETOFULONAT I 2-KETOGLJUKONAT PUTEM FERMENTACII

摘要

2-Ketogluconate present in a mixture with 2-ketogulonate is destroyed by fermentation with a strain of a Pseudomonas species leaving desired 2-ketogulonate intact. Subsequent hydrolysis of the 2-ketogulonate yields ascorbic acid.
