Heterokonts, Alveolata protists, green algae from Charophyta and Chlorophyta divisions, and all Embryophyta plants possess an aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) gene named ALDH12. Here, we provide a biochemical characterization of two ALDH12 family members from the lower plant Physcomitrella patens and

The acetic acid bacterium Gluconobacter oxydans has a high potential for oxidoreductases with a variety of different catalytic abilities. One putative oxidoreductase gene codes for an enzyme with a high similarity to the NADP+-dependent glycerol dehydrogenase (GlyDH) from Hypocrea jecorina.

Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP)-dependent aldolases demonstrate important values in the production of rare ketoses due to their unique stereoselectivities. As a specific example, we developed an efficient Escherichia coli whole-cell biocatalytic cascade system in which rare ketoses were produced from abundant
