Application

• De Novo Biosynthesis of Anisyl Alcohol and Anisyl Acetate in Engineered Escherichia coli.: This study discusses the biosynthesis of anisyl alcohol and its acetate derivatives in engineered E. coli strains. It highlights the potential applications of these compounds in the food and flavor industries due to their aromatic properties. The research demonstrates the feasibility of microbial production of anisyl alcohol as a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical synthesis (Pan et al., 2023).


• Aryl-alcohol oxidase involved in lignin degradation: a mechanistic study based on steady and pre-steady state kinetics and primary and solvent isotope effects with two alcohol substrates.: This paper investigates the role of aryl-alcohol oxidase in the degradation of lignin, focusing on the enzyme′s kinetics and mechanisms. Anisyl alcohol is used as a substrate to study these processes, providing insights into the enzyme′s function and its potential applications in biotechnological lignin valorization (Ferreira et al., 2009).


• Biotransformations of propenylbenzenes by an Arthrobacter sp. and its t-anethole blocked mutants.: This research explores the biotransformation of propenylbenzenes, including anisyl alcohol, using an Arthrobacter species and its mutants. The study highlights the microbial conversion pathways and the potential for producing valuable aromatic compounds through biocatalysis (Shimoni et al., 2003).
