Abstract excerpt
Homochiral-cis-cyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-diols are important synthons. We found a way to produce trans-configured homochiral diols using recombinant Klebsiella pneumoniae 62-1. Transformation of this mutant (Phe- Trp- Tyr-) with plasmids carrying genes involved in chorismic and isochorismic acid metabolism leads to the production of either (+)-trans-(2S,3S)-2,3-dihydroxycyclohexa-4,6-dienecarboxylic acid or...
