title: Trametes versicolorcarboxylate reductase uncovered.
abstract: The first carboxylate reductase fromTrametes versicolorwas identified, cloned, and expressed inEscherichia coli. The enzyme reduces aromatic acids such as benzoic acid and derivatives, cinnamic acid, and 3-phenylpropanoic acid, but also aliphatic acids such as octanoic acid are reduced.
