This research will focus on the:

i) Optimization of the ADH-catalyzed light-driven in vitro lactone synthesis;

ii) Reaction engineering of the ADH-catalyzed light-driven in vitro synthesis of lactones (bulk and fine chemicals);

iii) Evaluation of the photobiocatalytic lactone synthesis in terms of cost, productivity and sustainability;

iv) Up-scaling of the model reaction system for the synthesis of fine lactone.
