use the method to set up the world's first commercial-scale production of biomass-derived phenols. The method ferments starch with E coli bacteria spliced with the genes of a special enzyme. It is based on an enzyme for synthesizing 2-deoxyscyllo-inosose (DOI), which transforms glucose into phenols.
