The present invention relates to antimicrobially active &#x3c9;-cyclohexylalkan-1-oles of the following formula (I), to a method for producing said compounds and to the use thereof as antimicrobial agents for treating body odor, whereinRto Rindependently of one another denote hydrogen or a linear or branched alkyl radical having 1 to 12 carbon atoms,Rand Rindependently of one another denote hydrogen, a linear or branched alkyl radical having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a linear or branched alkoxy radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, andx is 0 or 1,wherein preferably the total number of carbon atoms in Rto Ris 18 or less.

Omega-cyclohexylalkan-1-oles and use thereof as antimicrobial actives to combat body odor

A class of biopolymer including sulfur in the form of a thioester in the polymer backbone or a thioether in the polymer side chains has been developed. These are preferably produced by fermentation of bacteria with appropriate sulfur containing substrates, which are incorporated by a broad spectrum polyhydroxyalkanoate (&ldquo;PHA&rdquo;) polymerase. The sulfur-containing PHAs allow various applications and uses in industry. Representative embodiments of the applications of the sulfur-containing PHAs include their uses in the packaging industry, medicine, pharmacy, agriculture or food industry, as active agents or as coatings, packaging, or carriers.
