Abstract

Oxidation reaction is one of the most important and indispensable organic reactions, so that green and sustainable catalysts for oxidation are necessary to be developed. Herein, biocatalytic oxidation of aldehydes was investigated, resulted in the synthesis of both aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids using a Geotrichum candidum aldehyde dehydrogenase (GcALDH). Moreover, selective oxidation of dialdehydes to aldehydic acids by GcALDH was also successful.
