Abstract
Described is a method for the enzymatic production of acetyl phosphate from formaldehyde using a phosphoketolase or a sulfoacetaldehyde acetyltransferase.
Claims23
A method of producing acetyl phosphate, wherein the method comprises:
- (a) contacting formaldehyde and phosphate with a phosphoketolase (EC 4.1.2.9), a fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase (EC 4.1.2.22) or a Sulfoacetaldehyde acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.3.15);
- and
- (b) enzymatically converting formaldehyde and phosphate into acetyl phosphate by the phosphoketolase (EC 4.1.2.9), the fructose-6-phosphate phosphoketolase (EC 4.1.2.22) or the Sulfoacetaldehyde acetyltransferase (EC 2.3.3.15).
