1.1.1.207 additional information development of a one-pot (bio)synthesis of (1R,2S,5R)-(-)-menthol and (1S,2S,5R)-(+)-neomenthol from pulegone, using recombinant Escherichia coli extracts that contain the biosynthetic genes for an ene-reductase NtDBR from Nicotiana tabacum and two menthone dehydrogenases, MMR and MNMR from Mentha piperita, a modular engineering strategy to improve the final production level. Multigene-construct-derived enzyme mixtures production of menthone, isomenthone, menthol, and neomenthol, but no or poor production of neoisomenthol and isomenthol, overview 739778
