Multi-enzymatic cascade reactions with Escherichia coli-based modules for synthesizing various bioplastic monomers from fatty acid methyl esters

We developed multi-enzymatic cascade reactions with three E. coli-based cell modules and produced biopolymer monomers such as ω-AFAs, α,ω-diols, ω-amino alcohols and α,ω-diamines from fatty acid methyl ester in a one-pot reaction.
