Solar energy in production of L-glutamate through visible light active photocatalyst--redox enzyme coupled bioreactor

Chem Commun (Camb). 2008 Nov 14:(42):5423-5. doi: 10.1039/b808256a. Epub 2008 Sep 20.

Abstract

A new potentially promising visible-light driven photobioreactor synthesizes fine chemical via photobiocatalysis by generating NADH in a non-enzymatic light-driven process and coupling it to the enzymatic dark reaction catalysis.
