Reaction conditions: [3]=10 mm; [whole cells]=100 gWCW L−1 (E. coli JM109 (DE3)_pDTG141_NDO H295A or E. coli JM109_pCDOv1_CDO M232A); sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.2, 50 mm) when using 25 mm EDTA, otherwise 50 mm MES/MOPS buffer; white‐light illumination (max. 112 μE L−1 s−1).[a] Sum of 3 a and 3 b; time points for determination were chosen at maximum product concentration during the time course of the reaction. [b] The diastereomeric ratio was determined after 4–6 hours of reaction.[c] Determined after 24 hours.[d] Determined from the liner range of product formation determined from the kinetic profiles for each reaction (Figures S19–S24).
