Title:
METHOD FOR PREPARING ALPHA-KETOPIMELIC ACID BY C1-ELONGATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/031910
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for preparing alpha-ketopimelic acid, comprising converting alpha-ketoglutaric acid into alpha-ketoadipic acid and converting alpha-ketoadipic acid into alpha-ketopimelic acid, wherein at least one of these conversions is carried out using a heterologous biocatalyst catalysing at least one of these conversions, wherein the heterologous biocatalyst comprises a. an NifV enzyme or another Aks enzyme having homo(n)citrate activity or a homologue thereof having homo(n)citrate activity; b. an AksD enzyme having homon-aconitase activity or a homologue thereof having homon-aconitase activity, c. an AksE enzyme having homon-aconitase activity or a homologue thereof having homon-aconitase activity, d. an AksF enzyme having homon- isocitrate dehydrogenase or a homologue thereof having homon-aconitase activity.
