Physiological relation between respiration activity and heterologous expression of selected benzoylformate decarboxylase variants in <it>Escherichia coli</it>

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The benzoylformate decarboxylase (BFD) from <it>Pseudomonas putida </it>is a biotechnologically interesting biocatalyst. It catalyses the formation of chiral 2-hydroxy ketones, which are important building blocks for ster...
