Biosynthesis of dendroketose from different carbon sources using in vitro and in vivo metabolic engineering strategies

Abstract Background Asymmetric aldol-type C–C bond formation with ketones used as electrophilic receptor remains a challenging reaction for aldolases as biocatalysts. To date, only one kind of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP)-dependent aldolases has been discovered and applied to synthesize branche...
