Epoxide hydrolase(EH) catalyze the enantioselective hydrolysis of racemic epoxides to corresponding diols. A recombinant Pichia pastoris with EH from Rhodotorula glutinis has been constructed by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). The recombinant biocatalyst enantioselectively hydrolyze (R)-styrene oxide faster than (S)-enantiomer. The catalytic activity of recombinant biocatalyst was 7-fold higher than that of wild-type strain. The recombinant EH biocatalyst can be used for kinetic resolution for the production of enantiopure styrene oxide.

The biocatalytic efficiency of recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032 expressing the secondary alcohol dehydrogenase of Micrococcus luteus NCTC2665 was studied. Recombinant C. glutamicum converts ricinoleic acid to a product, identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry as 12-ketooleic acid (12-oxo-cis-9-octadecenoic acid). The effects of pH, reaction temperature, and non-ionic detergent on recombinant C. glutamiucm whole cell bioconversion were examined. The determined optimal conditions for production of 12-ketooleic acid are pH 8.0, 35℃, and 0.05 g/l Tween80. Under these conditions, recombinant C. glutamicum produces 3.3 mM 12-ketooleic acid, with a 72% (mol/mol) maximum conversion yield, and 1.1 g/l/h volumetric productivity in 2 h; and 3.9 mM 12-ketooleic acid, with a 74% (mol/mol) maximum conversion yield, and 0.69 g/l/h maximum volumetric productivity in 4 h of fermentation. This study constitutes the first report of significant production of 12-ketooleic acid using a recombinant Corynebacterium glutamicum-based biocatalyst.

Heterologous secretory expression of endoglucanase E (Clostridium thermocellum) and ${\beta}$-glucosidase 1 (Saccharomycopsis fibuligera) was achieved in Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation cultures as an ${\alpha}$-mating factor signal peptide fusion, based on the native enzyme coding sequence. Ethanol production depends on simultaneous saccharification of cellulose to glucose and fermentation of glucose to ethanol by a recombinant yeast strain as a microbial biocatalyst. Recombinant yeast strain expressing endoglucanase and ${\beta}$-glucosidase was able to produce ethanol from ${\beta}$-glucan, CMC and acid swollen cellulose. This indicates that the resultant yeast strain of this study acts efficiently as a whole cell biocatalyst.

본 연구에서는 대장균 세포 표면에서 발현되는 유기인분해효소(organophosphorus hydrolase; OPH)를 이용하여 난분해성 및 환경독성물질로 알려진 diazinon의 효과적 처리가 이루어졌다. 이 실험에서는 $25^{\circ}C$ 배양 온도와 배지에 0.2 mM ethylenediamine tetraacetate (EDTA) 첨가 조건이 유기인분해 효소 생산에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 이 조건에서 성장한 대장균을 이용하여 초음파 파쇄공정이 수행되었을 때, 25, 50 mg/L diazinon는 각각 4.5, $7.2mg/g{\cdot}min$의 diazinon 제거 속도를 나타내었고, 두 농도(25, 50 ppm) 모두 90% 이상 제거 효율을 구할 수 있었다. 따라서 이러한 실험 결과들은 diazinon과 같은 독성 화합물을 친환경적으로 처리할 수 있는 생물학적 처리 시스템으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

In this study, a biocatalyst composite was prepared by immobilizing oxidoreductases onto Cu-activated zeolite to facilitate biochemical decomposition of 4-chlorophenol (4-CP). 4-CP monooxygenase (CphC-I) was cloned from a 4-CP degrading bacterium, Pseudarthrobacter chlorophenolicus A6, and then overexpressed and purified. Type X zeolite was synthesized from non-magnetic coal fly ash using acetic acid treatment, and its surfaces were coated with copper ions via impregnation (Cu-zeolite). Then, the recombinant oxidative and reductive enzymes were immobilized onto Cu-zeolite. The enzymes were effectively immobilized onto the Cu-zeolite (79% of immobilization yield). The retained catalytic activity of CphC-I after immobilization was 0.3423 U/g-Cu-zeolite, which was 63.3% of the value of free enzymes. The results of this study suggest that copper can be used as an effective enzyme immobilization binder because it provides favorable metalhistidine binding between the enzyme and Cu-zeolite.

Because of their selectivity and catalytic efficiency, BVMOs are highly valuable biocatalysts for the chemoenzymatic synthesis of a broad range of useful compounds. In this study, we investigated the microbial Baeyer-Villiger oxidation and sulfoxidation of thioanisole and bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one using whole Escherichia coli cells that recombined with each of the Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases originated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAOl and two from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). The three BVMOs were identified in the microbial genome database by a recently described protein sequence motif; e.g., BVMO motif(FXGXXXHXXXW). The reaction products were identified as (R)-/(S)-sulfoxide and 2-oxabicyclo/3-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-6-en-2-one by GC-MS analysis. Consequently, this study demonstrated that the three enzymes can indeed catalyze the Baeyer-Villiger reaction as a biocatalyst, and effective annotation tools can be efficiently exploited as a source of novel BVMOs.

We observed that an inclusion body (IB) of recombinant ${\beta}$-galactosidase that was produced by the araBAD promoter system in Escherichia coli (E. coil) showed enzyme activity. In order to improve its activity, the lowering of the transcription rate of the ${\beta}$-galactosidase structural gene was attempted through competition between an inducer (L-arabinose) and an inducer analog (D-fucose). In the deep-well microtiter plate culture and lab-scale fermentor culture, it was demonstrated that the addition of D-fucose caused an improvement in specific ${\beta}$-galactosidase production, although ${\beta}$-galactosidase was produced as an IB. In particular, the addition of D-fucose after induction led to an increase in the specific activity of ${\beta}$-galactosidase IB. Finally, we confirmed that the addition of D-fucose after induction caused changes in the structure of ${\beta}$-galactosidase IB, with higher enzyme activity. Based on these results, we expect that an improved enzyme IB will be used as a biocatalyst of the enzyme bioprocess, because an enzyme IB can be purified easily and has physical durability.
