Hydrogen-driven, ATP-dependent biocatalytic reduction of carboxylic acids under non-explosive conditions

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The reduction of carboxylic acids to alcohols in a hydrogen-driven whole-cell biocatalyst employing carboxylic acid reductases ensures high atom and mass efficiency, enabling a potentially more sustainable route for the synthesis of alcohols.
