Characterization of Kdc4427 and Adh4428. A Characterization of Kdc4427 and comparison with corresponding ARO10. a E. coli BL09 and E. coli BL11 cells were cultivated, and their cell growth (OD₆₀₀) and 2-PE production titers were compared. b Phenylpyruvate decarboxylase from Kdc4427 and ARO10 in recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3) whole cells. The conversion of 1 g/L phenylpyruvate to 2-PE. B Characterization of Adh4428 and comparison with corresponding ADH2. a E. coli BL12 and E. coli BL09 cells were cultivated, and their cell growth (OD₆₀₀) and 2-PE production titers were compared. b Phenylpyruvate dehydrogenase from Adh4428 and ADH2 in recombinant E. coli BL21(DE3) whole cells. The conversion of 1 g/L phenylacetaldehyde to 2-PE
