Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to biotechnological methods for the production of saturated as well as unsaturated aldehydes, and mixtures thereof using at least one alpha-dioxygenase and at least one aldehyde dehydrogenase. The method may be carried out either fermentatively or enzymatically. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a vector system, as well as sequences and recombinant microorganisms encoding the enzymes that can be used to produce the aldehydes and mixtures according to the invention. Further, the present invention relates to compositions obtained by the methods according to the present invention.
A biotechnological method for producing at least one unsaturated aldehyde and its corresponding carboxylic acid and/or at least one saturated aldehyde and its corresponding carboxylic acid, the process comprising providing at least one alpha-dioxygenase and at least one aldehyde dehydrogenase.
A vector system consisting of at least one vector or plasmid vector comprising a nucleic acid segment (a) comprising at least one gene encoding an alpha-dioxygenase, and a nucleic acid segment (b) comprising at least one gene encoding an aldehyde dehydrogenase;
