Single cell oil production by Trichosporon cutaneum from steam-exploded corn stover and its upgradation for production of long-chain α,ω-dicarboxylic acids

Table 3 Effect of different catalysts dosage on the self-metathesis reaction

Catalyst	Dosage (mol %)^a	Reaction time (h)	Conversion^b (%)
Grubbs 2nd	0.01	24	28.77 ± 0.76
Grubbs 2nd	0.1	1.5	81.15 ± 2.71
Grubbs 2nd	1	0.5	90.08 ± 3.25
Grubbs 1st	0.1	6	14.01 ± 0.49

Data shown are means of at least three parallel samples (n ≥ 3) and error bars are standard deviations (mean ± SD)
^a mol% is the unit defined as the molar quantity of catalyst per 100 g substrate
^bConversion (%) = (initial amount of fatty acids − residual amount of fatty acids) (g) × 100/initial amount of fatty acids (g)
