Production of Phenylacetylcarbinol via Biotransformation Using the Co-Culture of <i>Candida tropicalis</i> TISTR 5306 and <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> TISTR 5606 as the Biocatalyst
Phenylacetylcarbinol (PAC) is a precursor for the synthesis of several pharmaceuticals, including ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, and norephedrine. PAC is commonly produced through biotransformation using microbial pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) in the form of frozen–thawed whole cells. However, the lack...
