The application of whole-cell-catalyzed biotransformations is an emerging field that opens up a myriad of new possibilities for the industrial application of biocatalysts. In this article, the new technologies to design tailor-made cells for specific reactions as well as some interesting applied processes catalyzed by intracellular enzymes are presented.
