An intermediate 6-amino-2-heptenedioic acid and 2-heptenedioic acid useful in the production of nylon-7, nylon-7, x, nylon-x, 7, and polyester are recombinant host cells. Providing a manufacturing method. A compound selected from 2,6 diaminopimelate and α-aminopimelate is subjected to reductive deamination to the 6-amino-2-heptenedioic acid or to the 2-heptenedioic acid. A method of converting said compound comprising the step of contacting with an enzyme that catalyzes reductive deamination. [Selection] Figure 10 |
