title: Conversion of 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-6-nitrobenzothiazole to 4-(6-amino-5-hydroxybenzothiazol-2-yl)benzoic acid by a recombinant E. coli strain.
abstract: E. coli C43(DE3)pNbzAHabA, expressing nitroreductase and mutase enzymes, converts 2-(4-carboxyphenyl)-6-nitrobenzothiazole to 4-(6-amino-5-hydroxybenzothiazol-2-yl)benzoic acid.
