Engineering of glycerol utilization in Gluconobacter oxydans 621H for biocatalyst preparation in a low-cost way

摘要

BackgroundWhole cells of Gluconobacter oxydans are widely used in various biocatalytic processes. Sorbitol at high concentrations is commonly used in complex media to prepare biocatalysts. Exploiting an alternative process for preparation of biocatalysts with low cost substrates is of importance for industrial applications.
