The dataset belongs to a publication in Green Chemistry from 2023 (DOI: 10.1039/d3gc01105d). In the publication a two-step process is demonstrated, in which phenolic compounds are electrochemically hydrogenated and further converted to adipic acid by a biotransformation of recombinant Pseudomonas taiwanensis. The dataset shows the data from Fig. 3c and 4c in the publication. The two tables show the adipic acid concentration over time in the 500 mL-bubble column reactors, in which the biocatalyst was fed with the substrate solution.
