Cyclohexanol is a flammable liquid.
Acinetobacter NCIB 9871 has the ability to use cyclohexanol as its sole carbon source. It can degrade cyclohexanol to adipate and utilize the energy generated in this process. It is suggested that adipate continues to be degraded into carbon dioxide by a beta-oxidation process. A similar pathway is also illustrated in the KEGG database. The following is a text-format cyclohexanol degradation pathway map.
