Production of hydroxytyrosol from hydroxylation of tyrosol by Rhodococcus pyridinivorans 3HYL DSM109178

Hydroxytyrosol (4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,2-benzenediol) is the most known bioactive compound from the plant Olea europaea (olive tree). To date, few biocatalysis processes allowing efficient production of hydroxytyrosol from potential substrates including, tyrosol (2-(4-hydroxy) phenyl ethanol) and tyrosine have been reported. In this paper, we report for a Gram-positive bacterium that produces hydroxytyrosol via conversion of tyrosol and/or...
