Abstract

Abstract The alkane monooxygenase AlkBGT from Pseudomonas putida GPo1 constitutes a versatile enzyme system for the ω-oxyfunctionalization of medium chain-length alkanes. In this study, recombinant Escherichia coli W3110 expressing alkBGT was investigated as whole-cell catalyst for the regioselective biooxidation of fatty acid methyl esters to terminal alcohols. The ω-functionalized products are of general economic interest, serving as ...
