The invention relates to a method for producing the optically active alkanols of formula (I), wherein n is an integer of from 0 to 5; Cyc represents an optionally substituted, mononuclear or polynuclear, saturated or unsaturated, carbocylic or heterocyclic ring, and R1 represents halogen, SH, OH, NO2, NR2R3 or NR2R3R4+X−, wherein R2, R3 and R4 independently represent H or a lower alkyl or lower alkoxy group and X− represents a counterion. According to the invention, an enzyme (E) selected from the groups of dehydrogenases, aldehyde reductases and carbonyl reductases is incubated in a medium containing the alkanone of formula (II), wherein n, Cyc and R1 are defined as above, in the presence of reduction equivalents. The compound of formula (II) is enzymatically reduced to the compound of formula (I) and the reduction equivalents consumed during reaction are regenerated by reacting a sacrificial alcohol to the corresponding sacrificial ketone using enzyme (E) and at least partially removing the sacrificial ketone from the reaction medium, and then isolating the product (I) so produced.

The invention discloses recombination klebsiella pneumonia capable of co-producing 3-HP and P3HP, and a preparation method and application thereof. The recombination bacterium is obtained by introducing glycerol dehydratase gene, glycerol dehydratase reactivation enzyme gene, aldehyde dehydrogenase gene, propionyl coenzyme A synthetase gene and polyhydroxyalkanoate synthetase gene into a host recombination klebsiella pneumonia in which 1, 3-propylene glycol oxidoreductase gene and aldehyde reductase / alcohol dehydrogenase gene are knocked out.

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing pheromone fatty alcohol acetate in microorganisms based on three intermediate products of fatty acid metabolism pathway as precursor molecules. The reductase CAR, fatty acyl-CoA reductase FAR and aldehyde reductase AHR are used to obtain engineering bacteria that can reduce fatty acyl-ACP, fatty acid or fatty acyl-CoA to produce fatty alcohol, respectively. Finally, alcohol acetyltransferase ATF1 was highly expressed in fatty alcohol-producing engineering bacteria, which was used to catalyze the reaction of fatty alcohol and acetyl-CoA to synthesize pheromone fatty alcohol acetate. The invention can realize the microbial transformation from glucose to fatty alcohol acetate, and provides a feasible way for large-scale biosynthesis of fatty alcohol acetate.

The invention relates to genetic recombination saccharomyces cerevisiae with a detoxification function. The genetic recombination saccharomyces cerevisiae contains an exogenous aldehyde reductase gene, and the exogenous aldehyde reductase gene is an aldehyde reductase gene of which the sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO:1. The exogenous aldehyde reductase gene is obtained in a way that genome DNA of pichia stipitis is taken as a template for PCR amplification, and meanwhile, two enzyme digestion sites including Xho I and Not I are introduced into the terminal C and the terminal N respectively. A GRE2 gene segment is connected to a pYES2 / NTA plasmid vector to obtain a recombinant plasmid pYES2 / NTA-GRE2, and then the recombinant plasmid pYES2 / NTA-GRE2 is transformed into the saccharomyces cerevisiae to obtain the genetic recombination saccharomyces cerevisiae with the detoxification function. The saccharomyces cerevisiae can efficiently ferment pretreatment materials of lignocellulose to produce fuel ethanol; meanwhile, inhibitory or toxic aldehyde substances generated in the fermentation process can be removed, and detoxification of fermentation inhibiting substances in the pretreatmentmaterials of the lignocellulose is achieved, so that it is ensured that the process of producing the ethanol through fermentation of the cellulose is smooth and efficient.
