Microscale direct transesterification of microbial biomass with ethanol for screening of microorganisms by its fatty acid content
Abstract We present an improved method of direct transesterification suitable for the quantitative analysis of multiple dry samples for its fatty acid content, using a minimal amount of biomass and reactants. The method features an acid-catalyzed direct alcoholysis of microgram samples of dry biomass...
