Abstract

-dependent oxidation to transform 2-carboxybenzaldehyde into phthalic acid. This work demonstrates a promising multi-enzyme strategy for the mild conversion of naphthalene and provides a methodological and conceptual basis for developing green and sustainable biotransformation routes for PAHs.
