ABSTRACT:
A process for producing wax esters having the general structural formula RCO.sub.2 R', where R and R' are radicals selected from the group consisting of CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.a CH.dbd.CH(CH.sub.2).sub.b - and CH.sub.3 (CH.sub.2).sub.c - where a+b=12-14 for R and 13-15 for R' and where c=14-16 for R and 15-17 for R'. The method includes aerobically incubating a culture of microorganisms of the genus Acinetobacter species HO1-N, in an aqueous mineral salts solution containing ethanol as a primary food source. Incubation is performed at a temperature known to produce a desired percentage of diene, monoene and saturated R and R' moieties in the mixture.
