Synthesis and Accumulation of Aromatic Aldehydes in an Engineered Strain ofEscherichia coli

Aromatic aldehydes are useful in numerous applications, especially as flavors, fragrances, and pharmaceutical precursors. However, microbial synthesis of aldehydes is hindered by rapid, endogenous, and redundant conversion of aldehydes to their corresponding alcohols. We report the construction of a...
