Efficient production of (S)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol using xylan as co-substrate by a coupled multi-enzyme Escherichia coli system

Abstract Background (S)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol is an important chiral intermediate in the synthesis of liquid crystals and chiral biphosphines. (S)-carbonyl reductase II from Candida parapsilosis catalyzes the conversion of 2-hydroxyacetophenone to (S)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol with NADPH as a cofact...
