Bioconversion of Substituted Naphthalenes to the Corresponding 1,2-Dihydroxy Derivatives by Escherichia coli Recombinant Strains
摘要:
1,2-dihydroxynaphthalenes are produced by bioconversion of the corresponding hydrocarbons using Escherichia coli recombinant strains containing the naphthalene dioxygenase and dehydrogenase genes cloned from Pseudomonas fluorescens N3. Conversions are lead by a two step procedure without isolation of the dihydrodiol intermediate. Conversion rates depend on the position and nature of the naphthalene substituent (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
