Published: May 2005

Reduction of acetophenone by Daucus carota hairy root cultures afforded (S)-phenylethanol in high yield (96%) and excellent enantiomeric excess (ee>or=98%). Aromatic ketones, keto esters, and a simple aliphatic ketone were reduced with good stereoselectivity (ee=62-98%) and moderate to high chemical yields (25-90%).

Carrot callus grown on a medium with increased nitrogen have reduced carotenoid accumulation, changed gene expression, high amount of vesicular plastids and altered cell wall composition. Carotenoid biosynthesis is vital for plant development and quality, yet its regulation under varying nutrient conditions remains unclear. To explore the effects of nitrogen (N) availability, we used carrot (Daucus carota L.

Background: Recombinant proteins produced in the cell factories are used in biological research, pharmaceutical production, and biochemical and agricultural applications. Molecular chaperones, such as heat shock proteins (Hsps), are co-expressed with recombinant proteins to enhance their yield, stability, and activity. When () is used as a cell factory, Hsps are the frequently used co-expression partners.
