Photoautotrophic organisms are promising hosts for biocatalytic oxyfunctionalizations because they supply reduction equivalents as well as O2 via photosynthetic water oxidation. Thus far, research on photosynthesis-driven bioprocesses mainly focuses on strain development and the proof of principle in small-scale biocatalytic
