Abstract The recent increase of interest in photocatalysis spread to biocatalysis and triggered a rush for the development light‐dependent enzyme‐mediated or enzyme‐coupled processes. After several years intense research on photobiocatalysis, it is time evaluate state field structured manner. In this Perspective, we suggest group photobiocatalysis into distinct disciplines provide principal guidelines standards reporting photobiocatalytic results as well advice performing reactions. Overall,...
The α‐methylene‐γ‐butyrolactone tulipalin A, a defense compound found in tulips, can polymerize via addition at the vinyl group or ring‐opening polymerization, making it highly promising monomer for bio‐based polymers. Since biosynthesis of A plants remains elusive, we propose an alternative pathway its synthesis starting from terpenoid intermediate isoprenyl acetate. While fungal unspecific peroxygenases showed preference unwanted epoxidation exo‐olefin group, bacterial alkane...

Cyanobacteria have the capacity to use photosynthesis fuel their metabolism, which makes them highly promising production systems for sustainable of chemicals. Yet, dependency on visible light limits cell-density, is a challenge scale-up. Here, it was shown with example light-dependent biotransformation that internal illumination in bubble column reactor equipped wireless emitters (WLEs) could overcome this limitation. Cells cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 expressing gene...
Three Streptomyces sp. strains with a multitude of target enzymatic activities confirmed by functional screening, namely BV129, BV286 and BV333, were subjected to genome sequencing aiming at the annotation genes interest, in-depth bioinformatics characterization expression biocatalysts. A whole-genome shotgun followed de novo assembly was performed revealing genomes 6.4, 9.4 7.3 Mbp, respectively. Functional proteins interest resulted in between 2047 2763 putative targets. Among various that...
Biocatalytic potential of Streptomyces strains isolated from the rhizosphere plants and mycorrhizosphere fungi has been investigated. A total 118 isolates were selected functionally screened for 10 different biotechnologically important enzymatic activities: hydrolase (cellulase, cutinase, gelatinase, lipase, protease, polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) depolymerase), phenol oxidase peroxidase (laccase, tyrosinase, lignin peroxidase), aminotransferase. Out tested spp., 90% showed at least one...
Abstract The α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone tulipalin A, naturally found in tulips can polymerize via addition at the vinyl group or ring-opening polymerization, making it a highly promising monomer for biobased polymers. As A biosynthesis plants remains elusive, we propose pathway its synthesis starting from metabolic intermediate isoprenol. For this, terminal hydroxylation of α-methylene substrate isoprenyl acetate is decisive step. While panel fungal unspecific peroxygenases showed...
Michael addition of aldehydes to nitroolefins is an effective method obtain useful chiral ?-nitroaldehydes. ?-Nitroaldehydes are precursors for ?-aminobytiric acid analogues which have numerous pharmacological activities and used treatment neurological disorders. A whole-cell system based on recombinantly expressed 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase (4-OT) has been developed shown be biocatalyst branched ?-nitrostyrenes. The aim this study was investigate the influence substitution N-terminal...
