Engineering of Pseudomonas taiwanensis VLB120 for the sustainable production of hydroxylated aromatics

Aromatics are valuable compounds that are currently produced from non-renewable resources in polluting processes. In this thesis, we engineered solvent-tolerant Pseudomonas for the bio based production of model aromatics of industrial relevance. In this context, high-yield phenol and 4 vinylphenol production was achieved from renewable substrates.
