Suitability of the hydrocarbon-hydroxylating molybdenum-enzyme ethylbenzene dehydrogenase for industrial chiral alcohol production

- EbDH can be applied for enantioselective hydrocarbon hydroxylation.
- Immobilized EbDH is active up to 14 days under anaerobic conditions.
- Synthesis in fed-batch reactors yields up to 0.4-0.5 g/l of product.
- Wide range of converted substrates by EbDH enables versatile application.
