Claims
- 1. A process for producing a cylic ether having the structure:
- which comprises cultivating a culture of the microorganism, Cryptococcus laurentii, ATCC 20920 to product said cyclic ether in a recoverable quantity upon the transformation of a substrate comprising a carbon source and, in addition, at least one compound selected from the group consisting of: ##STR100## and recovering said cyclic ether.
- 2. A process for producing a cyclic ether having the structure: ##STR101## which comprises cultivating the microorganism Cryptococcus laurentii, ATCC 20920 to produce said cylic ether in a recoverable quantity upon the transformation of a substrate comprising a carbon source and, in addition, at least one compound selected from the group consisting of: ##STR102## under aerobic conditions in an aqueous nutrient medium wherein: (i) the pH of the reaction mass is between about 2.5 and about 9.0;
- (ii) the temperature of the reaction mass is between about 12.degree. C. and about 33.degree. C.; and
- (iii) the substrate concentration is between about 0.1 grams per liter and about 130 grams per liter
- and recovering said cylic ether.
- 3. The process of claim 2 wherein the carbon source is dextrose.
- 4. The process of claim 2 wherein the substrate concentration is between about 0.5 grams per liter and about 120 grams per liter.
