Escheria coli JM109(pDTG601), containing the todC1C2BA genes encoding toluene dioxygenase from Pseudomonas putida F1, oxides indan to (-)-(1R)-indanol (83{percent} R) and trans-1,3-indandiol. Under similar conditions, P.putida F39/D oxidizes indan to (-)-(1R)-indanol (96{percent}R), 1-indanone, and trans-1,3-indandiol. The differences in the enantiomeric composition of the 1-indanols formed by the two organisms are due to the presence of a 1-indanol dehydrogenase in P.putida F39/D that preferentially oxidizes (+)-(1S)-indanol.
