Rehmannia glutinosa produces many pharmacological natural components, including ferulic acid (FA) which is also an important precursor of some medicinal ingredients, so it is very significant to explore FA biosynthesis for enhancing the production of FA and its derivations. This study aimed to determine and reconstitute the R. glutinosa FA biosynthetic pathway from phenylalanine (Phe) metabolism in...
Background
Aldo‐keto reductases‐catalyzed transformations of ketones to chiral alcohols have become an established biocatalytic process step in the pharmaceutical industry. Previously, we have discovered an aldo‐keto reductase (AKR) from Kluyveromyces marxianus that is active to the aliphatic tert‐butyl 6‐substituted (5R/S)‐hydroxy‐3‐oxohexanoates, but it is inactive to aromatic ketones. In order...
