Chemical senses, 32(7), 681-688 (2007-06-15)
Sensory receptors often receive strongly dynamic, or time varying, inputs in their natural environments. Characterizing their dynamic properties requires control and measurement of the stimulus over a frequency range that equals or exceeds the receptor response. Techniques for dynamic stimulation

The kinetics of butyl butyrate synthesis by a lipase from Mucor miehei in different types of organic media were investigated. The three systems studied were a microaqueous medium containing enzyme in suspension in hexane, a water-hexane two-phase system, and reverse

The recovery of 1-butanol from fermentation broth is energy-intensive since typical concentrations in fermentation broth are below 20 g L(-1). To prevent butanol inhibition and high downstream processing costs, we aimed at producing butyl esters instead of 1-butanol. It is
