Abstract

See full text

The invention provides compositions comprising an alkene epoxidase and a selective epoxide hydrolase, such as a recombinant microorganism comprising a first heterologous nucleic acid encoding an alkene epoxidase and a second heterologous nucleic acid encoding a selective epoxide hydrolase. Exemplary alkene epoxidases include StyAB, while exemplary selective epoxide hydrolases include epoxide hydrolases from Sphingomonas, Solanum tuberosum, or Aspergillus. The invention also provides non-toxic methods of making enantiomerically pure vicinal diols or enantiomerically pure alpha-hydroxy carboxylic acids using these compositions and microorganisms.
