General description

1-Propanol is a linear alcohol. It exhibits Debye-type relaxation process which resembles the α-relaxation and Johari-Goldstein type β-relaxation features of the supercooled liquids (nonhydrogen-bonding type). It has been tested as a substitute of the fuel for various fuel cells. Its biosynthesis from glucose using Escherichia coli strain has been proposed.

Application

1-Propanol has been employed as solvent for the synthesis of mesoporous alumina.

Production of higher alcohols via the keto-acid intermediates found in microorganism's native amino-acid pathways has recently shown promising results. In this work, an Escherichia coli strain that produces 1-butanol and 1-propanol from glucose was constructed. The strain first converts glucose
