Abstract
Biotin, serving as a coenzyme in carboxylation reactions, is a vital nutrient crucial for the natural growth, development, and overall well-being of both humans and animals. Consequently, biotin is widely utilized in various industries, including feed, food, and pharmaceuticals. Despite its potential advantages, the chemical synthesis of biotin for commercial production encounters environmental and safety challenges. The burgeoning field of synthetic biology now allows for the creation of microbial cell factories producing bio-based products, offering a cost-effective alternative to chemical synthesis for biotin production. This review outlines the pathway and regulatory mechanism involved in biotin biosynthesis. Then, the strategies to enhance biotin production through both traditional chemical mutagenesis and advanced metabolic engineering are discussed. Finally, the article explores the limitations and future prospects of microbial biotin production. This comprehensive review not only discusses strategies for biotin enhancement but also provides in-depth insights into systematic metabolic engineering approaches aimed at boosting biotin production.

Abstract
Biotinyl-CoA synthetase, the first enzyme involved in biotin degradation, was purified from a cell-free extract of a biotin-degrading bacterium, Mycoplana sp. No. 166. The purification procedures comprised polyethyleneimine treatment, ammonium sulfate fractionation, and DEAE-Sepharose, Blue-Sepharose, Sephadex G-100, and FPLC (Mono Q HR 5/5) column chromatographies. The enzyme was found to be homogeneous on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was a monomeric enzyme with a molecular weight and an isoelectric point of about 55,000 and 4.85, respectively. The purified enzyme catalyzed the stoichiometric conversion of biotin, ATP, and CoA into biotinyl-CoA, AMP, and PPi. Dethiobiotin and actithiazic acid, a synthetic biotin analog, were also effective as substrates. Other properties of the purified enzyme were also investigated.
