title: Study of the biosynthesis of 1-octen-3-ol using a crude homogenate of Agaricus bisporus in a bioreactor.
abstract: 1-Octen-3-ol and 10-oxo-trans-8-decenoic acid are metabolites of the breakdown of linoleic acid (LA) by mushroom enzymes. These compounds can be produced in a bioreactor using a crude mushroom homogenate and the exogenous addition of LA and oxygen. The factors' duration of blending, mushroom-buffer ratio, effect of a surfactant, whole against partially clarified reaction broths, purity of LA, and utilization of stumps instead of whole mushrooms were studied for their effect on reaction yield using a 1-L bioreactor. The results showed the feasibility of using the more inexpensive 60%-pure LA instead of the 99%-pure LA even when a yield loss was involved. Waste stumps could be used instead of whole mushrooms with a yield decline of 26%.
