Engineered green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii as a whole-cell photosynthetic biocatalyst for stepwise photoproduction of H2 and ε-caprolactone

Post author By vttbiodesign
Post date 2nd August 2023

Authors: Vilja Siitonen, Anna Probst, Gábor Tóth, Robert Kourist, Michael Schroda, Sergey Kosourov and Yagut Allahverdiyeva Short description: The green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was used as a chassis for photobiotransformation of cyclohexanone to ε-caprolactone. In addition a stepwise production of molecular hydrogen and ε-caprolactone was achieved. Link to the publication: https://doi.org/10.1039/D3GC01400B
