Biovalorisation of crude glycerol and xylose into xylitol by oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. Microb Cell Fact 2020; 19:121. [PMID: 32493445 PMCID: PMC7271524 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-020-01378-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 25] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2020] [Accepted: 05/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Xylitol is a commercially important chemical with multiple applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. According to the US Department of Energy, xylitol is one of the top twelve platform chemicals that can be produced from biomass. The chemical method for xylitol synthesis is however, expensive and energy intensive. In contrast, the biological route using microbial cell factories offers a potential cost-effective alternative process. The bioprocess occurs under ambient conditions and makes use of biocatalysts and biomass which can be sourced from renewable carbon originating from a variety of cheap waste feedstocks. Result In this study, biotransformation of xylose to xylitol was investigated using Yarrowia lipolytica, an oleaginous yeast which was firstly grown on a glycerol/glucose for screening of co-substrate, followed by media optimisation in shake flask, scale up in bioreactor and downstream processing of xylitol. A two-step medium optimization was employed using central composite design and artificial neural network coupled with genetic algorithm. The yeast amassed a concentration of 53.2 g/L xylitol using pure glycerol (PG) and xylose with a bioconversion yield of 0.97 g/g. Similar results were obtained when PG was substituted with crude glycerol (CG) from the biodiesel industry (titer: 50.5 g/L; yield: 0.92 g/g). Even when xylose from sugarcane bagasse hydrolysate was used as opposed to pure xylose, a xylitol yield of 0.54 g/g was achieved. Xylitol was successfully crystallized from PG/xylose and CG/xylose fermentation broths with a recovery of 39.5 and 35.3%, respectively. Conclusion To the best of the author’s knowledge, this study demonstrates for the first time the potential of using Y. lipolytica as a microbial cell factory for xylitol synthesis from inexpensive feedstocks. The results obtained are competitive with other xylitol producing organisms.![]()

Abstract
In order to provide more alternative epoxide hydrolases for industrial production, a novel cDNA gene Rpeh-encoding epoxide hydrolase (RpEH) of Rhodotorula paludigena JNU001 identified by 26S rDNA sequence analysis was amplified by RT-PCR. The open-reading frame (ORF) of Rpeh was 1236 bp encoding RpEH of 411 amino acids and was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3). The substrate spectrum of expressed RpEH showed that the transformant E. coli/Rpeh had excellent enantioselectivity to 2a, 3a, and 5a-10a, among which E. coli/Rpeh had the highest activity (2473 U/g wet cells) and wonderful enantioselectivity (E = 101) for 8a, and its regioselectivity coefficients, αR and βS, toward (R)- and (S)-8a were 99.7 and 83.2%, respectively. Using only 10 mg wet cells/mL of E. coli/Rpeh, the near-perfect kinetic resolution of rac-8a at a high concentration (1000 mM) was achieved within 2.5 h, giving (R)-8a with more than 99% enantiomeric excess (ees) and 46.7% yield and producing (S)-8b with 93.2% eep and 51.4% yield with high space-time yield (STY) for (R)-8a and (S)-8b were 30.6 and 37.3 g/L/h.

No more cleaning up - Efficient lactic acid bacteria cell catalysts as a cost-efficient alternative to purified lactase enzymes. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2020; 104:6315-6323. [PMID: 32462242 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-020-10655-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/17/2020] [Revised: 04/16/2020] [Accepted: 04/29/2020] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
β-galactosidases, commonly referred to as lactases, are used for producing lactose-free dairy products. Lactases are usually purified from microbial sources, which is a costly process. Here, we explored the potential that lies in using whole cells of a food-grade dairy lactic acid bacterium, Streptococcus thermophilus, as a substitute for purified lactase. We found that S. thermophilus cells, when treated with the antimicrobial peptide nisin, were able to hydrolyze lactose efficiently. The rate of hydrolysis increased with temperature; however, above 50 °C, stability was compromised. Different S. thermophilus strains were tested, and the best candidate was able to hydrolyze 80% of the lactose in a 50 g/L solution in 4 h at 50 °C, using only 0.1 g/L cells (dry weight basis). We demonstrated that it was possible to grow the cell catalyst on dairy waste, and furthermore, that a cell-free supernatant of a culture of a nisin-producing Lactococcus lactis strain could be used instead of purified nisin, which reduced cost of use significantly. Finally, we tested the cell catalysts in milk, where lactose also was efficiently hydrolyzed. The method presented is natural and low-cost, and allows for production of clean-label and lactose-free dairy products without using commercial enzymes from recombinant microorganisms. KEY POINTS: • Nisin-permeabilized Streptococcus thermophilus cells can hydrolyze lactose efficiently. • A low-cost and more sustainable alternative to purified lactase enzymes. • Reduction of overall sugar content. • Clean-label production of lactose-free dairy products.

Abstract
L-Phenylglycine (L-PHG) is a member of unnatural amino acids, and becoming more and more important as intermediate for pharmaceuticals, food additives and agrochemicals. However, the existing synthetic methods for L-PHG mainly rely on toxic cyanide chemistry and multistep processes. To provide green, safe and high enantioselective alternatives, we envisaged cascade biocatalysis for the one-pot synthesis of L-PHG from racemic mandelic acid. A engineered E. coli strain was established to co-express mandelate racemase, D-mandelate dehydrogenase and L-leucine dehydrogenase and catalyze a 3-step reaction in one pot, enantioselectively transforming racemic mandelic acid to give L-PHG (e.e. >99 %). After the conditions for biosynthesis of L-PHG optimized by response surface methodology, the yield and space-time yield of L-PHG can reach 87.89 % and 79.70 g·L-1·d-1, which was obviously improved. The high-yielding and enantioselective synthetic methods use cheap and green reagents, and E. coli whole-cell catalysts, thus providing green and useful alternative methods for manufacturing L-PHG.

Abstract
Whole-cell biocatalysis plays an important role in biotransformation with unique features such as good tolerance of solvents and easy recycling. However, the relatively low catalytic efficiency limits their use in real production. In this study, a multi-compartmentalized emulsion in organic solvent was constructed to encapsulate living cells for enhanced catalytic performance. Extraordinary large interfacial area of the emulsion improved the bioactivity of Escherichia coli (E. Coli) cells up to 137 times compared to a standard biphasic system. The emulsion was stabilized by a biocompatible polymer and prepared by gentle shaking by hand, which resulted in good cell viability. Moreover, the encapsulated cells could be easily recycled, and the activity remained more than 70% after five cycles. This work provides a promising approach for utilizing whole-cell catalysts for efficient organic catalysis.

Abstract
Biotransformation of Astragalus sapogenins (cycloastragenol (1) and astragenol (2)) by Astragalus species originated endophytic fungi resulted in the production of five new metabolites (3, 7, 10, 12, 14) together with 10 known compounds. The structures of the new compounds were established by NMR spectroscopic and HRMS analysis. Oxygenation, oxidation, epoxidation, dehydrogenation, and ring cleavage reactions were observed on the cycloartane (9,19-cyclolanostane) nucleus. The ability of the compounds to increase telomerase activity in neonatal cells was also evaluated. After prescreening studies to define potent telomerase activators, four compounds were selected for subsequent bioassays. These were performed using very low doses ranging from 0.1 to 30 nM compared to the control cells treated with DMSO. The positive control cycloastragenol and 8 were found to be the most active compounds, with 5.2- (2 nM) and 5.1- (0.5 nM) fold activations versus DMSO, respectively. At the lowest dose of 0.1 nM, compounds 4 and 13 provided 3.5- and 3.8-fold activations, respectively, while cycloastragenol showed a limited activation (1.5-fold).

Abstract
In this work, the expression of an α-amylase from Bacillus megaterium on the cell surface of Escherichia coli strains WDHA (Δ hycA and Δ ldhA) and WDHFP (Δ hycA, Δ frdD and Δ pta) by the autodisplay adhesin involved in diffuse adherence (AIDA) system was carried out with the purpose to confer the ability to E. coli strains to degrade starch and thus produce hydrogen, ethanol and succinic acid. For the characterization of the biocatalyst, the effect of temperature (30-70 °C), pH (3-6) and CaCl2 concentration (0-25 mM), as well as the thermostability of the biocatalyst (55-80 °C) at several time intervals (15-60 min) were evaluated. The results showed that the biocatalyst had a maximum activity at 55 °C and pH 4.5. Calcium was required for the activity as well for the thermal stability of the biocatalyst. The calculated Vmax and Km values were 0.24 U/cm3 and 5.8 mg/cm3, respectively. Furthermore, a set of anaerobic batch fermentations was carried out using 10 g/dm3 of starch and 1 g/dm3 of glucose as carbon sources in 120 cm3 serological bottles, using WDHA and WDHFP strains harboring the pAIDA-amyA plasmid. The hydrogen production for WDHA was 1056.06 cm3/dm3 and the succinic acid yield was 0.68 g/gstarch, whereas WDHFP strain produced 1689.68 cm3/dm3 of hydrogen and an ethanol yield of 0.28 g/gstarch. This work represents a promising strategy to improve the exploitation of starchy biomass for the production of biofuels (hydrogen and ethanol) or succinate without the need of a pre-saccharification process.

Abstract
Cell-free enzymatic reaction cascades combine the advantages of well-established in vitro biocatalysis with the power of multi-step in vivo pathways. The absence of a regulatory cell environment enables direct process control including methods for facile bottleneck identification and process optimization. Within this work, we developed a reduced, enzymatic reaction cascade for the direct production of L-alanine from D-glucose and ammonium sulfate. An efficient, activity based enzyme selection is demonstrated for the two branches of the cascade. The resulting redox neutral cascade is composed of a glucose dehydrogenase, two dihydroxyacid dehydratases, a keto-deoxy-aldolase, an aldehyde dehydrogenase and an L-alanine dehydrogenase. This artificial combination of purified biocatalysts eliminates the need for phosphorylation and only requires NAD as cofactor. We provide insight into in detail optimization of the process parameters applying a fluorescamine based L-alanine quantification assay. An optimized enzyme ratio and the necessary enzyme load were identified and together with the optimal concentrations of cofactor (NAD), ammonium and buffer yields of >95% for the main branch and of 8% for the side branch were achieved.

Abstract
Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) are prebiotic low-calorie sweeteners that are synthesized by the transfer of fructose units from sucrose by enzymes known as fructosyltransferases. If these enzymes generate β-(2,6) glycosidic bonds, the resulting oligosaccharides belong to the neoseries (neoFOS). Here, we characterized the properties of three different fructosyltransferases using a design of experiments approach based on response surface methodology with a D-optimal design. The reaction time, pH, temperature, and substrate concentration were used as parameters to predict three responses: The total enzyme activity, the concentration of neoFOS and the neoFOS yield relative to the initial concentration of sucrose. We also conducted immobilization studies to establish a cascade reaction for neoFOS production with two different fructosyltransferases, achieving a total FOS yield of 47.02 ± 3.02%. The resulting FOS mixture included 53.07 ± 1.66 mM neonystose (neo-GF3) and 20.8 ± 1.91 mM neo-GF4.

Overexpression of the nitroreductase NfsB in an E. coli strain as a whole-cell biocatalyst for the production of chlorinated analogues of the natural herbicide DIBOA. N Biotechnol 2019; 50:9-19. [PMID: 30630092 DOI: 10.1016/j.nbt.2019.01.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2018] [Revised: 01/04/2019] [Accepted: 01/05/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Benzohydroxamic acids, such as DIBOA (2,4-dihydroxy-2 H)-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4 H)-one), are plant products that exhibit interesting herbicidal, fungicidal and bactericidal properties. A feasible alternative to their purification from natural sources is the synthesis of analogous compounds such as D-DIBOA (2-deoxy-DIBOA) and their chlorinated derivatives. Their chemical synthesis has been simplified into two steps. However, the second step is an exothermic reaction and involves hydrogen release, which makes this methodology expensive and difficult to scale up. The study reported here concerns the possibility of producing chlorobenzoxazinones by a whole-cell biocatalytic process using the ability of the engineered E. coli nfsB-/pBAD-NfsB to catalyse the synthesis of 6-Cl-D-DIBOA and 8-Cl-D-DIBOA from their respective precursors (PCs). The results show that this strain is able to grow in media that contain these compounds and to produce the target molecules with 59.3% and 46.7% biotransformation yields, respectively. Moreover, the strain is capable of processing non-purified PCs from the first chemical step to give similar yields to those obtained from the purified PCs. The kinetics of the reaction in vitro with purified recombinant NfsB nitroreductase were studied to characterise the catalysis further and evaluate the effects that several components of the non-purified PCs have on the process. The results revealed that the kinetics are that of an allosteric enzyme. The inhibitory effect of the substrate of the first step of the chemical synthesis, which is present in some non-purified PCs, was also demonstrated.

Production of glutaric acid from 5-aminovaleric acid by robust whole-cell immobilized with polyvinyl alcohol and polyethylene glycol. Enzyme Microb Technol 2019; 128:72-78. [PMID: 31186113 DOI: 10.1016/j.enzmictec.2019.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2019] [Revised: 04/15/2019] [Accepted: 05/09/2019] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
Glutaric acid is an attractive C5 dicarboxylic acid with wide applications in the biochemical industry. Glutaric acid can be produced by fermentation and bioconversion, and several of its biosynthesis pathways have been well characterized, especially the simple pathway involving glutaric acid from l-lysine using 5-aminovaleric acid. We previously reported the production of glutaric acid using 5-aminovaleric acid and α-ketoglutaric acid by a whole-cell reaction, resulting in a high conversion yield. In this study, we sought to enhance the stability and reusability of this whole-cell system for realizing the efficient production of glutaric acid under harsh reaction conditions. To this end, various matrices were screened to immobilize Escherichia coli whole-cell overexpressing 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase (GabT), succinate semi-aldehyde dehydrogenase (GabD), and NAD(P)H oxidase (NOX). We ultimately selected a PVA-PEG gel (LentiKats®) for cell entrapment, and several factors of the reaction were optimized. The optimal temperature and pH were 35 °C and 8.5, respectively. Treatment with Tween 80 as a surfactant, as well as additional NOX, was found to be effective. Under the optimized conditions, an immobilized cell retained 55% of its initial activity even after the eighth cycle, achieving 995.2 mM accumulated glutaric acid, whereas free cell lost most of their activity after only two cycles. This optimized whole-cell system can be used in the large-scale production of glutaric acid.

Abstract
Phenylglyoxylic acid (PGA) are key building blocks and widely used to synthesize pharmaceutical intermediates or food additives. However, the existing synthetic methods for PGA generally involve toxic cyanide and complex processes. To explore an alternative method for PGA biosynthesis, we envisaged cascade biocatalysis for the one-pot synthesis of PGA from racemic mandelic acid. A novel mandelate racemase named ArMR showing higher expression level (216.9 U·mL-1 fermentation liquor) was cloned from Agrobacterium radiobacter and identified, and six recombinant Escherichia coli strains were engineered to coexpress three enzymes of mandelate racemase, d-mandelate dehydrogenase and l-lactate dehydrogenase, and transform racemic mandelic acid to PGA. Among them, the recombinant E. coli TCD 04, engineered to coexpress three enzymes of ArMR, LhDMDH, and LhLDH, can transform racemic mandelic acid (100 mM) to PGA with 98% conversion. Taken together, we provide a green approach for one-pot biosynthesis of PGA from racemic mandelic acid.

Abstract
Puerarin, an important isoflavonoid from the edible root of Pueraria lobata, shows multiple bioactivities but suffers from low bioavailability. In this study, a new whole-cell catalytic method for acylation modification of puerarin was developed. Among the 12 strains tested, Aspergillus oryzae showed the highest catalytic activity and selectively catalyzed acylation of puerarin at the 6″-hydroxyl group. The organic solvents used significantly influenced the catalytic efficiency of the cells. In the green solvent 2-methyltetrahydrofuran, the reaction showed high substrate conversion (92.5%) and regioselectivity (95.8%), with results similar to those with tetrahydrofuran (94.2% and 98.5%, respectively) under optimal conditions. The monoester products showed higher liposolubility in comparison to puerarin, and those with C3-C8 fatty acid chain lengths showed evidently improved antioxidant activity toward erythrocyte hemolysis. Considering the operational stability of the cells and efficiency of the scaled-up reactions, this method is efficient and cost effective, with promising applications in the health food industry.

Abstract
Parabens are emerging environmental contaminants with known endocrine-disrupting effects. This study created a novel biocatalyst (named as SDFsC) by expressing the enzyme Fusarium solani pisi cutinase (FsC) on the cell surface of Baker's yeast Sacchromycese cerevisiae and demonstrated successful enzyme-mediated removal of parabens for the first time. Parabens with different side chain structures had different degradation rates by the SDFsC. The SDFsC preferentially degraded the parabens with relatively long alkyl or aromatic side chains. The structure-dependent degradability was in a good agreement with the binding energy between the active site of FsC and different parabens. In real wastewater effluent solution, the SDFsC effectively degraded 800 μg/L of propylparaben, butylparaben, and benzylparaben, either as a single compound or as a mixture, within 48 h. The estrogenic activity of parabens was considerably reduced as the parent parabens were degraded into 4-hydroxybenzoic acid via hydrolysis pathway by the SDFsC. The SDFsC showed superior reusability and maintained 93% of its initial catalytic activity after six rounds of paraben degradation reaction. Results from this study provide scientific basis for developing biocatalysis as a green chemistry alternative for advanced treatment of parabens in sustainable water reclamation.

Abstract
The continuous flow synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients, value-added chemicals, and materials has grown tremendously over the past ten years. This revolution in chemical manufacturing has resulted from innovations in both new methodology and technology. This field, however, has been predominantly focused on synthetic organic chemistry, and the use of biocatalysts in continuous flow systems is only now becoming popular. Although immobilized enzymes and whole cells in batch systems are common, their continuous flow counterparts have grown rapidly over the past two years. With continuous flow systems offering improved mixing, mass transfer, thermal control, pressurized processing, decreased variation, automation, process analytical technology, and in-line purification, the combination of biocatalysis and flow chemistry opens powerful new process windows. This Review explores continuous flow biocatalysts with emphasis on new technology, enzymes, whole cells, co-factor recycling, and immobilization methods for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, value-added chemicals, and materials.

Abstract
A potent phytoestrogen, (S)-equol, is a promising isoflavone derivative drawing our great attention owing to its various biological and clinical benefits. Through selective activation of the estrogen receptor ERβ or androgen receptor, (S)-equol reduces menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, skin aging, hair loss, and incidence of prostate or ovarian cancers without adverse effects. Traditional biosynthesis of (S)-equol exploited non-productive natural equol-producing anaerobic bacteria that mainly belong to Coriobacteriaceae isolated from human intestine. Recently, we developed a recombinant Escherichia coli strain which could convert daidzein into (S)-equol effectively under an aerobic condition. However, the yield was limited up to about the 200 mg/L level due to unknown reasons. In this study, we identified that the bottleneck of the limited production was the low solubility of isoflavone (i.e., 2.4 mg/L) in the reaction medium. In order to solve the solubility problem without harmful effect to the whole-cell catalyst, we applied commercial hydrophilic polymers (HPs) and a polar aprotic co-solvent in the reaction medium. Among the examined water-soluble polymers, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-40k was verified as the most promising supplement which increased daidzein solubility by 40 times and (S)-equol yield up to 1.22 g/L, the highest ever reported and the first g/L level biotransformation. Furthermore, PVP-40k was verified to significantly increase the solubilities of other water-insoluble natural polyphenols in aqueous solution. We suggest that addition of both HP and polar aprotic solvent in the reaction mixture is a powerful alternative to enhance production of polyphenolic chemicals rather than screening appropriate organic solvents for whole-cell catalysis of polyphenols.

Abstract
Comparison of chemical catalysis by metal complexes, enzymatic catalysis and whole-cell biocatalysis shows well-addressed advantages of the latter approach. However, a critical limitation in the practical applications originates from the high sensitivity of microorganisms to the toxic effects of organic solvents. In the present review, we consider toxic solvent properties of ionic liquid/water systems towards the development of efficient applications in practical organic transformations.

Abstract
The industrial importance of optically pure compounds has thrown a spotlight on ω-transaminases that have shown a high potential for the synthesis of bioactive compounds with a chiral amine moiety. The implementation of biocatalysts in industrial processes relies strongly on fast and cost effective process development, including selection of a biocatalyst form and the strategy for its immobilization. Here, microscale reactors with selected surface-immobilized amine-transaminase (ATA) in various forms are described as platforms for high-throughput process development. Wild type ATA (ATA-wt) from a crude cell extract, as well as Escherichia coli cells intracellularly overexpressing the enzyme, were immobilized on the surfaces of meander microchannels of disposable plastics by means of reactor surface silanization and glutaraldehyde bonding. In addition, a silicon/glass microchannel reactor was used for immobilization of an ATA-wt, genetically engineered to contain a silica-binding module (SBM) at the N-terminus (N-SBM-ATA-wt), leading to immobilization on the non-modified inner microchannel surface. Microreactors with surface-immobilized biocatalysts were coupled with a quenching system and at-line HPLC analytics and evaluated based on continuous biotransformation, yielding acetophenone and l-alanine. E. coli cells and N-SBM-ATA-wt were efficiently immobilized and yielded a volumetric productivity of up to 14.42 g L-1 h-1, while ATA-wt small load resulted in two orders of magnitude lower productivity. The miniaturized reactors further enabled in-operando characterization of biocatalyst stability, crucial for successful transfer to a production scale.

Biocatalyst Screening with a Twist: Application of Oxygen Sensors Integrated in Microchannels for Screening Whole Cell Biocatalyst Variants. Bioengineering (Basel) 2018; 5:bioengineering5020030. [PMID: 29642515 PMCID: PMC6027248 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering5020030] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2018] [Revised: 04/04/2018] [Accepted: 04/05/2018] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Selective oxidative functionalization of molecules is a highly relevant and often demanding reaction in organic chemistry. The use of biocatalysts allows the stereo- and regioselective introduction of oxygen molecules in organic compounds at milder conditions and avoids the use of complex group-protection schemes and toxic compounds usually applied in conventional organic chemistry. The identification of enzymes with the adequate properties for the target reaction and/or substrate requires better and faster screening strategies. In this manuscript, a microchannel with integrated oxygen sensors was applied to the screening of wild-type and site-directed mutated variants of naphthalene dioxygenase (NDO) from Pseudomonas sp. NICB 9816-4. The oxygen sensors were used to measure the oxygen consumption rate of several variants during the conversion of styrene to 1-phenylethanediol. The oxygen consumption rate allowed the distinguishing of endogenous respiration of the cell host from the oxygen consumed in the reaction. Furthermore, it was possible to identify the higher activity and different reaction rate of two variants, relative to the wild-type NDO. The meander microchannel with integrated oxygen sensors can therefore be used as a simple and fast screening platform for the selection of dioxygenase mutants, in terms of their ability to convert styrene, and potentially in terms of substrate specificity.

Abstract
d-Tartaric acid has wide range of application in the pharmaceutical industry and scarcely exists in nature. In this study, cis-epoxysuccinate hydrolase (CESH)-containing Escherichia coli was used to perform whole-cell bioconversion of cis-epoxysuccinate (CES) to D-tartaric acid and the catalytic efficiency was investigated by ultrasound treatment. The bioconversion rate of CES sodium reached 70.36% after 60 min treated after ultrasound, which is 3-fold higher than that in the control. The specific rate could be further improved by 2-fold after 5 repeated batches compared with the first one, however, the specific rate gradually decreased with the increase of repeat batches (>5 batches). The CESH from Bordetella sp. BK-52 was a typical Michaelis-Menten enzyme with Vmax and Km values of 28.17 mM/h/g WCW (wet of cell weight) and 30.18 mM, respectively. The process for the d-tartaric acid bioconversion, which consisted of 102.31 g/L CES sodium, 8.78 mg/mL whole cell and ultrasound power of 79.36 W, is further optimized using response surface methodology. The specific rate finally reached 194.79 ± 1.78 mM/h/g WCW under the optimal conditions. Furthermore, the permeability of inner and outer membrane was improved approximately 1.6 and 1.4-fold after ultrasound treatment, respectively, which may be a crucial factor for improvement of the bioconversion efficiency.

Abstract
Analytical chemistry is now developing mainly in two areas: automation and the creation of complexes that allow, on the one hand, for simultaneously analyzing a large number of samples without the participation of an operator, and on the other, the development of portable miniature devices for personalized medicine and the monitoring of a human habitat. The sensor devices, the great majority of which are biosensors and chemical sensors, perform the role of the latter. That last line is considered in the proposed review. Attention is paid to transducers, receptors, techniques of immobilization of the receptor layer on the transducer surface, processes of signal generation and detection, and methods for increasing sensitivity and accuracy. The features of sensors based on synthetic receptors and additional components (aptamers, molecular imprinted polymers, biomimetics) are discussed. Examples of bio- and chemical sensors' application are given. Miniaturization paths, new power supply means, and wearable and printed sensors are described. Progress in this area opens a revolutionary era in the development of methods of on-site and in-situ monitoring, that is, paving the way from the "test-tube to the smartphone".

Abstract
d-Mandelate dehydrogenase (DMDH) has the potential to convert d-mandelic acid to phenylglyoxylic acid (PGA), which is a key building block in the field of chemical synthesis and is widely used to synthesize pharmaceutical intermediates or food additives. A novel NAD+-dependent d-mandelate dehydrogenase was cloned from Lactobacillus harbinensi (LhDMDH) by genome mining and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21. After being purified to homogeneity, the oxidation activity of LhDMDH toward d-mandelic acid was approximately 1200 U·mg-1, which was close to four times the activity of the probe. Meanwhile, the kcat/ Km value of LhDMDH was 28.80 S-1·mM-1, which was distinctly higher than the probe. By coculturing two E. coli strains expressing LhDMDH and LcLDH, we developed a system for the efficient synthesis of PGA, achieving a 60% theoretical yield and 99% purity without adding coenzyme or cosubstrate. Our data supports the implementation of a promising strategy for the chiral resolution of racemic mandelic acid and the biosynthesis of PGA.

Abstract
Whole-cell biocatalysts offer a highly enantioselective, minimally polluting route to optically active alcohols. Currently, most of the whole-cell catalytic performance involves resting cells rather than growing cell biotransformation, which is one-step process that benefits from the simultaneous growth and biotransformation, eliminating the need for catalysts preparation. In this paper, asymmetric reduction of 14 aromatic ketones to the corresponding enantiomerically pure alcohols was successfully conducted using the growing and resting cells of marine-derived fungi under optimized conditions. Good yields and excellent enantioselectivities were achieved with both methods. Although substrate inhibition might be a limiting factor for growing cell biotransformation, the selected strain can still completely convert 10-mM substrates into the desired products. The resting cell biotransformation showed a capacity to be recycled nine times without a significant decrease in the activity. This is the first study to perform asymmetric reduction of ketones by one-step growing cell biotransformation.

Abstract
The Plackett-Burman design and the Box-Behnken design, statistical methodologies, were employed for the optimization lipase and biosurfactant production by Ochrobactrum intermedium strain MZV101 in an identical broth medium for detergent applications. Environmental factor pH determined to be most mutual significant variables on production. A high concentration of molasses at high temperature and pH has a negative effect on lipase and biosurfactant production by O. intermedium strain MZV101. The chosen mathematical method of medium optimization was sufficient for improving the industrial production of lipase and biosurfactant by bacteria, which were respectively increased 3.46- and 1.89-fold. The duration of maximum production became 24 h shorter, so it was fast and cost-saving. In conclusion, lipase and biosurfactant production by O. intermedium strain MZV101 in an identical culture medium at pH 10.5-11 and 50-60 °C, with 1 g/L of molasses, seemed to be economical, fast, and effective for the enhancement of yield percentage for use in detergent applications.

Abstract
Covering hydrophobic regions with stabilization agents to solubilize purified transmembrane proteins is crucial for their application in aqueous media. The small molecule 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol (MPD) was used to stabilize the transmembrane protein Ferric hydroxamate uptake protein component A (FhuA) utilized as host for the construction of a rhodium-based biohybrid catalyst. Unlike commonly used detergents such as sodium dodecyl sulfate or polyethylene polyethyleneglycol, MPD does not form micelles in solution. Molecular dynamics simulations revealed the effect and position of stabilizing MPD molecules. The advantage of the amphiphilic MPD over micelle-forming detergents is demonstrated in the polymerization of phenylacetylene, showing a ten-fold increase in yield and increased molecular weights.

Abstract
For many years, industrial enzymes have played an important role in the benefit of our society due to their many useful properties and a wide range of applications. They are key elements in the progress of many industries including foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, therapy, personal care, animal feed, detergents, pulp and paper, textiles, leather, chemicals and biofuels. During recent decades, microbial enzymes have replaced many plant and animal enzymes. This is because microbial enzymes are widely available and produced economically in short fermentations and inexpensive media. Screening is
simple, and strain improvement for increased production has been very successful. The advances in recombinant DNA technology have had a major effect on production levels of enzymes and represent a way to overproduce industrially important microbial, plant and animal enzymes. It has been calculated that 50-60% of the world enzyme market is supplied with recombinant enzymes. Molecular methods, including genomics and
metagenomics, are being used for the discovery of new enzymes from microbes. Also, directed evolution has allowed the design of enzyme specificities and better performance.

Abstract
Background 4-Hydroxycinnamyl alcohols are a class of natural plant secondary metabolites that include p-coumaryl alcohol, caffeyl alcohol, coniferyl alcohol and sinapyl alcohol, and have physiological, ecological and biomedical significance. While it is necessary to investigate the biological pathways and economic value of these alcohols, research is hindered because of their limited availability and high cost. Traditionally, these alcohols are obtained by chemical synthesis and plant extraction. However, synthesis by biotransformation with immobilized microorganisms is of great interest because it is environmentally friendly and offers high stability and regenerable cofactors. Therefore, we produced 4-hydroxycinnamyl alcohols using immobilized whole cells of engineered Escherichia coli as the biocatalyst. Results In this study, we used the recombinant E. coli strain, M15–4CL1–CCR, expressing the fusion protein 4-coumaric acid: coenzyme A ligase and the cinnamoyl coenzyme A reductase and a recombinant E. coli strain, M15–CAD, expressing cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase from Populus tomentosa (P. tomentosa). High performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry showed that the immobilized whole cells of the two recombinant E. coli strains could effectively convert the phenylpropanoic acids to their corresponding 4-hydroxycinnamyl alcohols. Further, the optimum buffer pH and the reaction temperature were pH 7.0 and 30 °C. Under these conditions, the molar yield of the p-coumaryl alcohol, the caffeyl alcohol and the coniferyl alcohol was around 58, 24 and 60%, respectively. Moreover, the highly sensitive and selective HPLC–PDA–ESI–MSn method used in this study could be applied to the identification and quantification of these aromatic polymers. Conclusions We have developed a dual-cell immobilization system for the production of 4-hydroxycinnamyl alcohols from inexpensive phenylpropanoic acids. This biotransformation method is both simple and environmental-friendly, which is promising for the practical and cost effective synthesis of natural products.Biotransformation process of phenylpropanoic acids by immobilized whole-cells ![]()

Abstract
Colchicinoids and their derivatives are of great importance in pharmaceutical applications, and colchicine is usually used as the first choice for the treatment of gout. To expand the structural diversities and clinical application of colchicinoids, many attempts have been established for the derivatives with better activity or less toxicity. Herein, in this paper, we report a direct microbial transformation of colchicine into 2-O-demethyl-colchicine (M1) and 3-O-demethl-colchicine (M2) by Streptomyces griseus ATCC 13273. It is noteworthy that when DMF was used as co-solvent, the yield of M1 and M2 could reach up to 51 and 31%, respectively. All the structures of the metabolites were elucidated unambiguously by ESI-MS, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, and 2D-NMR spectroscopy.

Abstract
The heat-tolerance mechanisms of (hyper)thermophilic proteins provide a unique opportunity to investigate the unsolved protein folding problem. In an attempt to determine whether the interval between residues in sequence might play a role in determining thermostability, we constructed a sequence interval-dependent value function to calculate the residue pair frequency. Additionally, we identified a new sequence arrangement pattern, where like-charged residues tend to be adjacently assembled, while unlike-charged residues are distributed over longer intervals, using statistical analysis of a large sequence database. This finding indicated that increasing the intervals between unlike-charged residues can increase protein thermostability, with the arrangement patterns of these charged residues serving as thermodynamically favorable nucleation points for protein folding. Additionally, we identified that the residue pairs K-E, R-E, L-V and V-V involving long sequence intervals play important roles involving increased protein thermostability. This work demonstrated a novel approach for considering sequence intervals as keys to understanding protein folding. Our findings of novel relationships between residue arrangement and protein thermostability can be used in industry and academia to aid the design of thermostable proteins.

Abstract
Microorganisms have been exposed to a myriad of substrates and environmental conditions throughout evolution resulting in countless metabolites and enzymatic activities. Although mankind have been using these properties for centuries, we have only recently learned to control their production, to develop new biocatalysts with high stability and productivity and to improve their yields under new operational conditions. However, microbial cells still provide the best known environment for enzymes, preventing conformational changes in the protein structure in non-conventional medium and under harsh reaction conditions, while being able to efficiently regenerate necessary cofactors and to carry out cascades of reactions. Besides, a still unknown microbe is probably already producing a compound that will cure cancer, Alzeihmer's disease or kill the most resistant pathogen. In this review, the latest developments in screening desirable activities and improving production yields are discussed.

Abstract
Application of engineered bacteria expressing nitrile hydratase for the production of amide is getting tremendous attention due to the rapid development of recombinant DNA technique. This study evaluated the effect of 3-cyanopyridine concentrations on nicotinamide production using recombinant Escherichia coli strain (BAG) expressing high-molecular-mass nitrile hydratase from Rhodococcus rhodochrous J1, and established proper process of whole-cell catalysis of 3-cyanopyridine and high cell-density cultivation. The process of substrate fed-batch was applied in the production of nicotinamide, and the concentration of product reached 390 g/L under the condition of low cell-density. After the high cell-density cultivation of BAG in 5 L bioreactor, the OD600 of cell attained 200 and the total activity reached 2813 U/mL. Different high density of BAG after fermentation in the tank was used to catalyze 3-cyanopyridine, and the concentration of nicotinamide reached to 508 g/L in just 60 min. The productivity of BAG was 212% higher than that of R. rhodochrous J1, and it is possible that BAG is able to achieve industrial production of nicotinamide.
