Abstract
The 5-hydroxyectoine is a natural protective agent with long-lasting moisturising and radiation resistance properties. It can be naturally synthesized by some extremophiles using the "bacterial milking" process, but this can corrode bioreactors and downstream purification may cause environmental pollution. In this study, an engineered Escherichia coli (E. coli) strain was constructed for the 5-hydroxyectoine production. First, three ectoine hydroxylases were characterised and the enzyme from Halomonas elongata was the most effective. The L-2,4-diaminobutyrate transaminase mutant was introduced into the engineered strain, which could accumulate 2.8 g/L 5-hydroxyectoine in shake flasks. By activating the glyoxylate cycle and balancing the α-ketoglutarate distribution, the 5-hydroxyectoine titer was further increased to 3.4 g/L. Finally, the optimized strain synthesized 58 g/L 5-hydroxyectoine via a semi-continuous feeding process in a NaCl-free medium. Overall, this study reported the highest titer of 5-hydroxyectoine synthesized by E. coli and established a low-salt fermentation process through the aforementioned efforts.

Abstract
Background: Azo dyes are the most widely used synthetic colorants in the textile, food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and other industries, accounting for nearly 70% of all dyestuffs consumed. Recently, much research attention has been paid to efficient monitoring of these hazardous chemicals and their related metabolites because of their potentially harmful effect on environmental issues. In contrast to the complex and expensive instrumental procedures, the detection system based on the QDs with the superior optochemical properties provides a new era in the pollution sensing and prevention. Methods: We have developed a QD-enzyme hybrid system to probe MR in aqueous solutions using a fluorescence quenching procedure. Results: The azoreductase enzyme catalyzed the reduction of azo group in MR, which can efficiently decrease the FRET between the QDs and MR molecules. The correlation between the QDs photoluminescence recovery and MR enzymatic decolorization at the neutral phosphate buffer permitted the creation of a fluorescence quenching-based sensor. The synthesized biosensor can be used for the accurate detection of MR in a linear calibration over MR concentrations of 5-84 μM, with the LOD of 0.5 μM in response time of three minutes. Conclusion: Our findings revealed that this fluorometric sensor has the potential to be successfully applied for monitoring a wide linear range of MR concentration with the relative standard deviation of 4% rather than the other method.

Abstract
Direct electron transfer (DET)-capable oxidoreductases are enzymes that have the ability to transfer/receive electrons directly to/from solid surfaces or nanomaterials, bypassing the need for an additional electron mediator. More than 100 enzymes are known to be capable of working in DET conditions; however, to this day, DET-capable enzymes have been mainly used in designing biofuel cells and biosensors. The rapid advance in (semi) conductive nanomaterial development provided new possibilities to create enzyme-nanoparticle catalysts utilizing properties of DET-capable enzymes and demonstrating catalytic processes never observed before. Briefly, such nanocatalysts combine several cathodic and anodic catalysis performing oxidoreductases into a single nanoparticle surface. Hereby, to the best of our knowledge, we present the first review concerning such nanocatalytic systems involving DET-capable oxidoreductases. We outlook the contemporary applications of DET-capable enzymes, present a principle of operation of nanocatalysts based on DET-capable oxidoreductases, provide a review of state-of-the-art (nano) catalytic systems that have been demonstrated using DET-capable oxidoreductases, and highlight common strategies and challenges that are usually associated with those type catalytic systems. Finally, we end this paper with the concluding discussion, where we present future perspectives and possible research directions.
