A variety of enzymes can be easily incorporated and overexpressed within Escherichia coli cells by plasmids, making it an ideal chassis for bioelectrosynthesis. It has recently been demonstrated that microbial electrosynthesis (MES) of chiral alcohols is possible by using genetically modified E. coli with plasmid-incorporated and overexpressed enzymes and methyl viologen as mediator for electron transfer. This model system, using NADPH-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase from Lactobacillus brevis to ...[more]
