Abstract:Cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO), a member of the Baeyer-Villiger
monooxygenase family, is a versatile biocatalyst that efficiently
catalyzes the conversion of cyclic ketones to lactones. In this study,
an Acidovorax-derived CHMO gene was expressed in
Pseudomonas taiwanensis VLB120. Upon purification, the enzyme was
characterized in vitro and shown to feature a broad substrate
spectrum and up to 100% conversion in 6 h. Further, we determined and
compared the cyclohexanone conversion kinetics for different
CH… Show more
