Summary
Inclusion of cyclodextrins into an agar gel enabled a homogenous incorporation of water-immiscible lipophilic organic liquids and solids as substrates for surface microbial growth or conversion. Surface cultivation ofCandida lipolytica andC. tropicalis was demonstrated inα andβ-cyclodextrin/hexadecane-agar media.
