Abstract
The successful realization of a sustainable manufacturing bioprocess and the maximization of its production potential and capacity are the main concerns of a bioprocess engineer. A main step towards this endeavor is the development of an efficient biocatalyst. Isolated enzyme(s), microbial cells, or (immobilized) formulations thereof can serve as biocatalysts. Living cells feature, beside active enzymes, metabolic modules that can be exploited to support energy-dependent and multi-step enzyme-catalyzed reactions. Metabolism can sustainably supply necessary cofactors or cosubstrates at the expense of readily available and cheap resources, rendering external addition of costly cosubstrates unnecessary. However, for the development of an efficient whole-cell biocatalyst, in depth comprehension of metabolic modules and their interconnection with cell growth, maintenance, and product formation is indispensable. In order to maximize the flux through biosynthetic reactions and pathways to an industrially relevant product and respective key performance indices (i.e., titer, yield, and productivity), existing metabolic modules can be redesigned and/or novel artificial ones established. This review focuses on whole-cell bioconversions that are coupled to heterotrophic or phototrophic metabolism and discusses metabolic engineering efforts aiming at 1) increasing regeneration and supply of redox equivalents, such as NAD(P/H), 2) blocking competing fluxes, and 3) increasing the availability of metabolites serving as (co)substrates of desired biosynthetic routes.

Abstract
Cyanobacteria Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 was exploited as green cell factory for light-powered asymmetric synthesis of aromatic chiral alcohols. The effect of temperature, light, substrate and cell concentration on substrate conversions were investigated. Under the optimal condition, a series of chiral alcohols were synthesized with conversions up to 95% and enantiomer excess (ee) > 99%. We found that the addition of Na2S2O3 and Angeli's Salt increased the NADPH content by 20% and 25%, respectively. As a result, the time to reach 95% substrate conversion was shortened by 12 h, which demonstrated that the NADPH regeneration and hence the reaction rates can be regulated in cyanobacteria. This blue-green algae based biocatalysis showed its potential for chiral compounds production in future.

Abstract
Reductions play a key role in organic synthesis, producing chiral products with new functionalities. Enzymes can catalyse such reactions with exquisite stereo-, regio- and chemoselectivity, leading the way to alternative shorter classical synthetic routes towards not only high-added-value compounds but also bulk chemicals. In this review we describe the synthetic state-of-the-art and potential of enzymes that catalyse reductions, ranging from carbonyl, enone and aromatic reductions to reductive aminations.

Abstract
Potassium (K+) is the most abundant cation in phytoplankton cells, but its impact on Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) has not been fully documented. This study presents evidence of how K+ availability affects the growth, oxidative stress and microcystin (MC) production of M. aeruginosa. The iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis revealed that during K+ deficiency, serious oxidative damage occurred and the photosynthesis-associated and ABC transporter-related proteins in M. aeruginosa were substantially downregulated. In the absence of K+, a 69.26% reduction in cell density was shown, and both the photosynthesis and iron uptake were depressed, which triggered a declined production of ATP and expression of MC synthetases genes (mcyA, B and D), and MC exporters (mcyH). Through the impairment of both the MC biosynthesis and MC transportation out of cells, K+ depletion caused an 85.89% reduction of extracellular MC content at the end of the study. However, with increasing in the available K+ concentrations, photosynthesis efficiency, the expression of ABC-transporter proteins, and the transcription of mcy genes displayed slight differences compared with those in the control group. This work represents evidence that K+ availability can regulate the physiological metabolic activity of M. aeruginosa and K+ deficiency leads to depressed growth and MC production in M. aeruginosa.

Reductive capabilities of different cyanobacterial strains towards acetophenone as a model substrate - Prospect of applications for chiral building blocks synthesis. Bioorg Chem 2019; 93:102810. [PMID: 30819508 DOI: 10.1016/j.bioorg.2019.02.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2018] [Revised: 02/13/2019] [Accepted: 02/16/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
Bioreductive capabilities of four morphologically different strains of cyanobacteria have been assessed in this work. Arthrospira maxima, Leptolyngbya foveolarum, Nodularia sphaerocarpa and Synechococcus bigranulatus were applied as catalysts for the reduction of acetophenone to the corresponding chiral phenylethyl alcohol. The process was modified regarding substrate concentration, duration of pre-cultivation period, duration of biotransformation, light regime and glucose addition to the culture media. Obtained results clearly showed that cyanobacteria were active towards acetophenone what resulted in the substrate reduction to (S)-1-phenylethanol with high enantiomeric excess. The reaction efficiency increased with the biotransformation time, but the higher concentration of substrate limited the process yield. Also, all tested strains performed reaction with the highest efficacy under continuous light regime. The most active strains - N. sphaerocarpa and S. bigranulatus carried out the conversion of 1 mM acetophenone with high efficiency of respectively 97.6% and 96.2% after 13 days of biotransformation. A. maxima reached 45.8% of conversion after 13 days of biotransformation whereas L. foveolarum did not exceed 20%. The enantiomeric excesses were respectively 98.8%- A. maxima, 91.7%- L. foveolarum, 72.6%- S. bigranulatus and N. sphaerocarpa 16.2%.
