Abstract
Odd-numbered fatty acids (FAs) have been widely used in nutrition, agriculture, and chemical industries. Recently, some studies showed that they could be produced from bacteria or yeast, but the products are almost exclusively odd-numbered long-chain FAs. Here we report the design and construction of two biosynthetic pathways in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for de novo production of odd-numbered medium-chain fatty acids (OMFAs) via ricinoleic acid and 10-hydroxystearic acid, respectively. The production of OMFAs was enabled by introducing a hydroxy fatty acid cleavage pathway, including an alcohol dehydrogenase from Micrococcus luteus, a Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase from Pseudomonas putida, and a lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens. These OMFA biosynthetic pathways were optimized by eliminating the rate-limiting step, generating heptanoic acid, 11-hydroxyundec-9-enoic acid, nonanoic acid, and 9-hydroxynonanoic acid at 7.83 mg/L, 9.68 mg/L, 9.43 mg/L and 13.48 mg/L, respectively. This work demonstrates the biological production of OMFAs in a sustainable manner in S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
The ability to site-selectively modify equivalent functional groups in a molecule has the potential to streamline syntheses and increase product yields by lowering step counts. Enzymes catalyze site-selective transformations throughout primary and secondary metabolism, but leveraging this capability for non-native substrates and reactions requires a detailed understanding of the potential and limitations of enzyme catalysis and how these bounds can be extended by protein engineering. In this review, we discuss representative examples of site-selective enzyme catalysis involving functional group manipulation and C-H bond functionalization. We include illustrative examples of native catalysis, but our focus is on cases involving non-native substrates and reactions often using engineered enzymes. We then discuss the use of these enzymes for chemoenzymatic transformations and target-oriented synthesis and conclude with a survey of tools and techniques that could expand the scope of non-native site-selective enzyme catalysis.

Abstract
Enantioselective synthesis of chiral alcohols through asymmetric addition of water across an unactivated alkene is a highly sought-after transformation and a big challenge in catalysis. Herein we report the identification and directed evolution of a fatty acid hydratase from Marinitoga hydrogenitolerans for the highly enantioselective hydration of styrenes to yield chiral 1-arylethanols. While directed evolution for styrene hydration was performed in the presence of heptanoic acid to mimic fatty acid binding, the engineered enzyme displayed remarkable asymmetric styrene hydration activity in the absence of the small molecule activator. The evolved styrene hydratase provided access to chiral alcohols from simple alkenes and water with high enantioselectivity (>99 : 1 e.r.) and could be applied on a preparative scale.

Abstract
Fatty acid hydratases are unique to microorganisms. Their native function is the oxidation of unsaturated C–C bonds to enable detoxification of environmental toxins. Within this enzyme family, the oleate hydratases (Ohys), which catalyze the hydroxylation of oleic acid to 10-(R)-hydroxy stearic acid (10-HSA) have recently gained particular industrial interest. 10-HSA is considered to be a replacement for 12-(R)-hydroxy stearic acid (12-HSA), which has a broad application in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. As 12-HSA is obtained through an energy consuming synthesis process, the biotechnological route for sustainable 10-HSA production is of significant industrial interest. All Ohys identified to date have a non-redox active FAD bound in their active site. Ohys can be divided in several subfamilies, that differ in their oligomerization state and the decoration with amino acids in their active sites. The latter observation indicates a different reaction mechanism across those subfamilies. Despite intensive biotechnological, biochemical and structural investigations, surprising little is known about substrate binding and the reaction mechanism of this enzyme family. This review, summarizes our current understanding of Ohys with a focus on sustainable biotransformation.

Abstract
Recently, we described the preparation of the recombinant oleate hydratase from Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 53103. We observed that the purified C-terminal His-tagged enzyme was completely inactive and the catalytic activity was partially restored only in presence of a large amount of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). In the present work, we assess that this hydratase in the presence of the reduced form of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2) is at least one hundred times as active as in the presence of the same concentration of FAD. By means of two different biochemical processes, we demonstrated unambiguously that oleate hydratase from Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 53103 is a FADH2-dependent enzyme. As a first relevant application of this discovery, we devised a preparative procedure for the stereoselective synthesis of (R)-10-hydroxystearic acid. Accordingly, the hydration of oleic acid (up to 50 g/L) is performed on a multigram scale using the recombinant hydratase and FADH2 generated in situ as cofactor. The produced (R)-10-hydroxystearic acid (ee > 97%) precipitates from the reaction solvent (water/glycerol/ethanol) and is conveniently recovered by simple filtration (>90% yield).

Abstract
In this work, the transesterification of methyl estolides (ME) extracted from the lipid component present in the sewage scum was investigated. Methyl 10-(R)-hydroxystearate (Me-10-HSA) and Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAMEs) were obtained in a single step. A three-level and four factorial Box–Behnken experimental design were used to study the effects of methanol amounts, catalyst, temperature, and reaction time on the transesterification reaction using aluminum chloride hexahydrate (AlCl3·6H2O) or hydrochloric acid (HCl) as catalysts. AlCl3·6H2O was found quite active as well as conventional homogeneous acid catalysts as HCl. In both cases, a complete conversion of ME into Me-10-HSA and FAMEs was observed. The products were isolated, quantified, and fully characterized. At the end of the process, Me-10-HSA (32.3%wt) was purified through a chromatographic separation and analyzed by NMR. The high enantiomeric excess (ee > 92%) of the R-enantiomer isomer opens a new scenario for the valorization of sewage scum.

Abstract
Oleate hydratase catalyzes the hydration of unsaturated fatty acids, giving access to C10-functionalization of oleic acid. The resultant 10-hydroxystearic acid is a key material for the synthesis of many biomass-derived value-added products. Herein, we report the engineering of an oleate hydratase from Paracoccus aminophilus (PaOH) with significantly improved catalytic efficiency (from 33 s-1 mM-1 to 119 s-1 mM-1), as well as 3.4 times increased half-life at 30 °C. The structural mechanism regarding the impact of mutations on the improved catalytic activity and thermostability was elucidated with the aid of molecular dynamics simulation. The practical feasibility of the engineered PaOH variant F233L/F122L/T15 N was demonstrated through the pilot synthesis of 10-hydroxystearic acid and 10-oxostearic acid via an optimized multi-enzymatic cascade reaction, with space-time yields of 540 g L-1 day-1 and 160 g L-1 day-1, respectively.

Abstract
Different microbial strains are able to transform oleic acid (OA) into 10-hydroxystearic acid (10-HSA) by means of the catalytic activity of the enzymes oleate hydratase (EC 4.2.1.53). Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 53103 performs this biotransformation with very high stereoselectivity, affording enantiopure (R)-10-HSA. In this work, we cloned, in Escherichia coli, the oleate hydratase present in the above-mentioned probiotic strain. Our study demonstrated that the obtained recombinant hydratase retains the catalytic properties of the Lactobacillus strain but that its activity was greatly affected by the expression procedure. According to our findings, we devised a reliable procedure for the hydration of oleic acid using a recombinant E. coli whole-cell catalyst. We established that the optimal reaction conditions were pH 6.6 at 28 °C in phosphate buffer, using glycerol and ethanol as co-solvents. According to our experimental protocol, the biocatalyst does not show significant substrate inhibition as the hydration reaction can be performed at high oleic acid concentration (up to 50 g/L).

Abstract
Covering: up to July 2019 Terpene synthases (TSs) are responsible for generating much of the structural diversity found in the superfamily of terpenoid natural products. These elegant enzymes mediate complex carbocation-based cyclization and rearrangement cascades with a variety of electron-rich linear and cyclic substrates. For decades, two main classes of TSs, divided by how they generate the reaction-triggering initial carbocation, have dominated the field of terpene enzymology. Recently, several novel and unconventional TSs that perform TS-like reactions but do not resemble canonical TSs in sequence or structure have been discovered. In this review, we identify 12 families of non-canonical TSs and examine their sequences, structures, functions, and proposed mechanisms. Nature provides a wide diversity of enzymes, including prenyltransferases, methyltransferases, P450s, and NAD+-dependent dehydrogenases, as well as completely new enzymes, that utilize distinctive reaction mechanisms for TS chemistry. These unique non-canonical TSs provide immense opportunities to understand how nature evolved different tools for terpene biosynthesis by structural and mechanistic characterization while affording new probes for the discovery of novel terpenoid natural products and gene clusters via genome mining. With every new discovery, the dualistic paradigm of TSs is contradicted and the field of terpene chemistry and enzymology continues to expand.

Abstract
The utilization of hydroxy fatty acids has gained more and more attention due to its applicability in many industrial building blocks that require it, for example, polymers or fragrances. Furthermore, hydroxy fatty acids are accessible from biorenewables, thus contributing to a more sustainable raw material basis for industrial chemicals. Therefore, a range of investigations were done on fatty acid hydratases (FAHs), since these enzymes catalyze the addition of water to an unsaturated fatty acid, thus providing an elegant route towards hydroxy-substituted fatty acids. Besides the discovery and characterization of fatty acid hydratases (FAHs), the design and optimization of syntheses with these enzymes, the implementation in elaborate cascades, and the improvement of these biocatalysts, by way of mutation in terms of the substrate scope, has been investigated. This mini-review focuses on the research done on process development using fatty acid hydratases as a catalyst. It is notable that biotransformations, running at impressive substrate loadings of up to 280 g L−1, have been realized. A further topic of this mini-review is the implementation of fatty acid hydratases in cascade reactions. In such cascades, fatty acid hydratases were, in particular, combined with alcohol dehydrogenases (ADH), Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMO), transaminases (TA) and hydrolases, thus enabling access to a broad variety of molecules that are of industrial interest.

Abstract
In this work, we studied the biotechnological potential of thirteen probiotic microorganisms currently used to improve human health. We discovered that the majority of the investigated bacteria are able to catalyze the hydration reaction of the unsaturated fatty acids (UFAs). We evaluated their biocatalytic activity toward the three most common vegetable UFAs, namely oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. The whole-cell biotransformation experiments were performed using a fatty acid concentration of 3 g/L in anaerobic conditions. Through these means, we assessed that the main part of the investigated strains catalyzed the hydration reaction of UFAs with very high regio- and stereoselectivity. Our biotransformation reactions afforded almost exclusively 10-hydroxy fatty acid derivatives with the single exception of Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC SD5212, which converted linoleic acid in a mixture of 13-hydroxy and 10-hydroxy derivatives. Oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids were transformed into (R)-10-hydroxystearic acid, (S)-(12Z)-10-hydroxy-octadecenoic, and (S)-(12Z,15Z)-10-hydroxy-octadecadienoic acids, respectively, usually with very high enantiomeric purity (ee > 95%). It is worth noting that the biocatalytic capabilities of the thirteen investigated strains may change considerably from each other, both in terms of activity, stereoselectivity, and transformation yields. Lactobacillus rhamnosus ATCC 53103 and Lactobacillus plantarum 299 V proved to be the most versatile, being able to efficiently and selectively hydrate all three investigated fatty acids.

Abstract
The addition of water to non-activated carbon-carbon double bonds catalyzed by fatty acid hydratases (FAHYs) allows for highly regio- and stereoselective oxyfunctionalization of renewable oil feedstock. So far, the applicability of FAHYs has been limited to free fatty acids, mainly owing to the requirement of a carboxylate function for substrate recognition and binding. Herein, we describe for the first time the hydration of oleic acid (OA) derivatives lacking this free carboxylate by the oleate hydratase from Elizabethkingia meningoseptica (OhyA). Molecular docking of OA to the OhyA 3D-structure and a sequence alignment uncovered conserved amino acid residues at the entrance of the substrate channel as target positions for enzyme engineering. Exchange of selected amino acids gave rise to OhyA variants which showed up to an 18-fold improved conversion of OA derivatives, while retaining the excellent regio- and stereoselectivity in the olefin hydration reaction.

Abstract
Alkenes are excellent starting materials for organic synthesis due to the versatile reactivity of C[double bond, length as m-dash]C bonds and the easy availability of many unfunctionalised alkenes. Direct regio- and/or enantioselective conversion of alkenes into functionalised (chiral) compounds has enormous potential for industrial applications, and thus has attracted the attention of researchers for extensive development using chemo-catalysis over the past few years. On the other hand, many enzymes have also been employed for conversion of alkenes in a highly selective and much greener manner to offer valuable products. Herein, we review recent advances in seven well-known types of biocatalytic conversion of alkenes. Remarkably, recent mechanism-guided directed evolution and enzyme cascades have enabled the development of seven novel types of single-step and one-pot multi-step functionalisation of alkenes, some of which are even unattainable via chemo-catalysis. These new reactions are particularly highlighted in this feature article. Overall, we present an ever-expanding enzyme toolbox for various alkene functionalisations inspiring further research in this fast-developing theme.

Abstract
The direct enantioselective addition of water to unactivated alkenes could simplify the synthesis of chiral alcohols and solve a long‐standing challenge in catalysis. Here we report that an engineered fatty acid hydratase can catalyze the asymmetric hydration of various terminal and internal alkenes. In the presence of a carboxylic acid decoy molecule for activation of the oleate hydratase from E. meningoseptica, asymmetric hydration of unactivated alkenes was achieved with up to 93 % conversion, excellent selectivity (>99 % ee, >95 % regioselectivity), and on a preparative scale.

Abstract
Water addition to carbon-carbon double bonds provides access to value-added products from inexpensive organic feedstock. This interesting but relatively little-studied reaction is catalysed by hydratases in a highly regio- and enantiospecific fashion with excellent atom economy. Considering that asymmetric hydration of (non-activated) carbon-carbon double bonds is virtually impossible with current organic chemistry, enzymatic hydration reactions are highly attractive for industrial applications. Hydratases have been known for several decades but their biocatalytic potential has only been explored over the past 15 years. As a result, a considerable amount of information on this enzyme group has become available, enabling their development for practical applications. This review focuses on hydratases catalysing water addition to non-activated carbon-carbon double bonds, and examines hydratases from a biochemical, structural and mechanistic angle. Current challenges and opportunities in hydration biocatalysis are discussed, and, ultimately, their potential for organic synthesis is highlighted.

Abstract
Unsaturated fatty acids are toxic to various bacteria, causing their death or growth inhibition. To prevent this toxicity, unsaturated fatty acids should be converted into saturated fatty acids via hydrogenation reaction, which is the complete reduction of double bonds on the carbon chain. In a recent report, we observed that Stenotrophomonas sp. KCTC 12332 exhibited a high biotransformation activity of oleic acid (OA) in 10-hydroxystearic acid and identified the gene encoding oleate hydratase (OhySt) by complete genomic analysis. In the present study, to further investigate the structural features of OhySt, the recombinant protein was expressed in Escherichia coli, and then purified and crystallized. Biochemical assay showed that OhySt produces 10-hydroxystearic acid in a flavin adenosine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent manner, indicating that it requires FAD as a cofactor. The OhySt structure, which is determined in its apo state, allows for a structural comparison with the previously reported FAD bound structure of oleate hydratase. The comparison of structures indicates remarkable conformational change of the loop region surrounding the FAD molecule upon binding of FAD. This change forces one of the important catalytic residues into position for catalysis.

Abstract
Developments of past years placed the bio-based polyesters as competitive substitutes for fossil-based polymers. Moreover, enzymatic polymerization using lipase catalysts has become an important green alternative to chemical polymerization for the synthesis of polyesters with biomedical applications, as several drawbacks related to the presence of traces of metal catalysts, toxicity and higher temperatures could be avoided. Copolymerization of ϵ-caprolactone (CL) with four hydroxy-fatty acids (HFA) from renewable sources, 10-hydroxystearic acid, 12-hydroxystearic acid, ricinoleic acid, and 16-hydroxyhexadecanoic acid, was carried out using commercially available immobilized lipases from Candida antarctica B, Thermomyces lanuginosus, and Pseudomonas stutzeri, as well as a native lipase. MALDI-TOF-MS and 2D-NMR analysis confirmed the formation of linear/branched and cyclic oligomers with average molecular weight around 1200 and polymerization degree up to 15. The appropriate selection of the biocatalyst and reaction temperature allowed the tailoring of the non-cyclic/cyclic copolymer ratio and increase of the total copolymer content in the reaction product above 80%. The catalytic efficiency of the best performing biocatalyst (Lipozyme TL) is evaluated during four reaction cycles, showing excellent operational stability. The thermal stability of the reaction products is assessed based on TG and DSC analysis. This new synthetic route for biobased oligomers with novel functionalities and properties could have promising biomedical applications.

Abstract
Natural hydroxy fatty acids are relevant starting materials for the production of a number of industrial fine chemicals, such as different high-value flavour ingredients. Only a few of the latter hydroxy acid derivatives are available on a large scale. Therefore, their preparation by microbial hydration of unsaturated fatty acids, affordable from vegetable oils, is a new biotechnological challenge. In this study, we describe the use of the probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus rhamnosus (ATCC 53103) as whole-cell biocatalyst for the hydration of the most common unsaturated octadecanoic acids, namely oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid. We discovered that the addition of the latter fatty acids to an anaerobic colture of the latter strain, during the early stage of its exponential growth, allows the production of the corresponding mono-hydroxy derivatives. In these experimental conditions, the hydration reaction proceeds with high regio- and stereoselectivity. Only 10-hydroxy derivatives were formed and the resulting (R)-10-hydroxystearic acid, (S)-(12Z)-10-hydroxy-octadecenoic acid, and (S)-(12Z,15Z)-10-hydroxy-octadecadienoic acid were obtained in very high enantiomeric purity (ee > 95%). Although overall conversions usually do not exceed 50% yield, our biotransformation protocol is stereoselective, scalable, and holds preparative significance.

Abstract
AIMS The preparation of the high-value flavour γ-dodecalactone is based on the biotransformation of natural 10-HSA, which is in turn obtained by microbial hydration of oleic acid. We want to establish a reliable baker's yeast-mediated procedure for 10-HSA preparation. METHODS AND RESULTS The previously reported yeast-mediated hydration procedures are unreliable because bacteria-free baker's yeast is not able to hydrate oleic acid. The actual responsible for performing this reaction are the bacterial contaminants present in baker's yeast. Moreover, we demonstrated that the enantioselectivity in the production of (R)-10-HSA is affected mainly by the temperature used in the biotransformation. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that Saccharomyces cerevisiae is not able to hydrate oleic acid, whereas different bacterial strains present in baker's yeast transform oleic acid into (R)-10-HSA. We reported a general procedure for the preparation of (R)-10-HSA starting from oleic acid and using commercially available baker's yeast. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY This study holds both scientific and industrial interest. It unambiguously establishes that the eukaryote micro-organisms present in baker's yeast are not able to hydrate oleic acid. The isolation of oleic acid hydrating bacterial strains from commercial baker's yeast points to their prospective use for the industrial synthesis of 10-HSA.

Abstract
Hydratases have gained attention as alternative to chemical catalysts for their ability to add and eliminate water with high regio-selectivity, stereo-selectivity and enantio-selectivity. Recently, especially cofactor-independent hydratases came into research focus as they are of particular interest for industrial application. The investigation of the substrate scope as well as mutagenesis studies combined with high-resolution crystal structures and bioinformatic methods shed light on this promising enzyme class. This review presents latest findings in the field of fatty acid hydratases, linalool dehydratase isomerase and carotenoid hydratases focusing on mechanistic und structural aspects as well as the expansion of the substrate scope and new applications in organic synthesis.

Abstract
The catalytic promiscuity of a ferulic acid decarboxylase from Enterobacter sp. (FDC_Es) and phenolic acid decarboxylases (PADs) for the asymmetric conjugate addition of water across the C=C bond of hydroxystyrenes was extended to the N‐, C‐ and S‐nucleophiles methoxyamine, cyanide and propanethiol to furnish the corresponding addition products in up to 91% ee. The products obtained from the biotransformation employing the most suitable enzyme/nucleophile pairs were isolated and characterized after optimizing the reaction conditions. Finally, a mechanistic rationale supported by quantum mechanical calculations for the highly (S)‐selective addition of cyanide is proposed. ![]()

Abstract
Carotenoid 1,2-hydratases (CrtC) catalyze the selective addition of water to an isolated carbon-carbon double bond. Although their involvement in the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway is well understood, little is known about the mechanism by which these hydratases transform carotenoids such as lycopene into the corresponding hydroxyl compounds. Key residues were identified at positions His239, Trp241, Tyr266, and Asp268 in CrtC from Rubrivivax gelatinosus (and corresponding positions in Thiocapsa roseopersicina). Alanine mutants at these positions were found to be completely inactive, suggesting their direct involvement in the catalytic reaction. Our resulting mechanistic hypothesis is in analogy with the recently studied class of terpenoid cyclase enzymes containing a highly acidic aspartic residue in their active site. We propose that a similar aspartic acid residue, which is conserved through all putative CrtCs, is involved in initial protonation of the double bond in lycopene.

Thereby, hydroxy groups are introduced without the need for costly cofactor recycling, and that makes this approach highly interesting on an industrial scale. Here we present the first crystal structure of a recombinant oleate hydratase originating from Elizabethkingia meningoseptica in the presence of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). A structure-based mutagenesis study targeting active site residues identified E122 and Y241 as crucial for the activation of a water molecule and for protonation of the double bond, respectively. Moreover, we also observed that two-electron reduction of FAD results in a sevenfold increase in the substrate hydration rate. We propose the first reaction mechanism for this enzyme class that explains the requirement for the flavin cofactor and the involvement of conserved amino acid residues in this regio- and stereoselective hydration.

Abstract
Water addition to carbon-carbon double bonds using hydratases is attracting great interest in biochemistry. Most of the known hydratases are involved in primary metabolism and to a lesser extent in secondary metabolism. New hydratases have recently been added to the toolbox, both from natural sources or artificial metalloenzymes. In order to comprehensively understand how the hydratases are able to catalyse the water addition to carbon-carbon double bonds, this review will highlight the mechanistic and stereochemical studies of the enzymatic water addition to carbon-carbon double bonds, focusing on the syn/anti-addition and stereochemistry of the reaction.
