Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009037216A1] The invention relates to an enzymatic method for the oxidation of methyl groups in aliphatic hydrocarbons and to novel proteins and enzyme mixtures with the enzymatic activity of a monooxygenase. According to the invention, preferably compounds with methyl groups are oxidised in branched-chain, aliphatic hydrocarbons, which are essentially acyclic compounds and/or aliphatic compounds having functional groups or compounds with methyl groups at the aliphatic hydrocarbons which are mono- or disubstituted at the C2 atom, wherein the substituents can be the same or different. The invention preferably relates to a biotechnological process for the oxidation of methyl groups in the branched-chain structures, wherein microorganisms which have or produce the desired monooxygenase activity are cultivated in an aqueous system and are converted into the corresponding target products.
