Claim Text:
1. A method for enriching monomer content in a cycloalkane oxidation process mixed organic waste stream, comprising: (a) combining a biocatalyst with a mixed organic waste stream from a cycloalkane oxidation process, wherein the biocatalyst is esterase (EC 3.1.1.1), cutinase (EC 3.1.1.74), polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) depolymerase (EC 3.1.1.75 & EC 3.1.1.76), 1,4-lactonase (EC 3.1.1.25), or gluconolactonases (EC 3.1.1.17), or combinations thereof; and (b) enzymatically converting lactone, dimeric and/or oligomeric components of said mixed organic waste stream into monomeric components.
