USE OF XYLENE MONOOXYGENASE FOR THE OXIDATION OF SUBSTITUTED MONOCYCLIC AROMATIC COMPOUNDS |
摘要 |
The invention relates to a biocatalytic process for the oxidation of substituted monocyclic aromatic compounds to the corresponding carboxylic acids and related compounds. In a preferred embodiment the invention describes a biocatalytic process to produce 4-hydroxymethylbenzoic acid and 3-hydroxymethylbenzoic acid from p-xylene and m-xylene, respectively. 4-hydroxymethylbenzoic acid has been prepared by oxidizing p-xylene with a single recombinant microorganism containing the enzyme xylene monooxygenase. |
