Production and Anti-Melanoma Activity of Methoxyisoflavones from the Biotransformation of Genistein by Two Recombinant Escherichia coli Strains

Biotransformation of the soy isoflavone genistein by sequential 3′-hydroxylation using recombinant Escherichia coli expressing tyrosinase from Bacillus megaterium and then methylation using another recombinant E. coli expressing O-methyltransferase from Streptomyces peucetius was conducted. The resu...
