Cascading and precise regulation of the selective bio-production of 2- or 5-ketogluconic acid from glucose with whole-cell catalysis technology
Xia Hua, Jian Han, Xinlu Liu, Yong Xu
Abstract
Ketogluconic acid is widely applied in several industries as the bio-precursor of vitamin C and tartaric acid, while the selective production of 2-kGA or 5-kGA from glucose is so far still a challenge for chemical and biotechnical processes.
