Biofilm: Friend Not Foe Engineering Biofilms for Biocatalysis
There is an increasing trend of using biotransformations in the fine chemicals industry1,2, however a key problem facing this technology is the sensitivity of enzymes and even whole cells to extremes in pH, temperature and mechanical stress. Although there has been significant research into using extremophiles, fragility is still an issue3. A solution may be found by employing biofilms, communi...
متن کاملEngineering enzymes for biocatalysis.
Protein engineering techniques have been available for over two decades beginning with the development of methods for genetic engineering. Since that time, the engineering of enzymes has advanced rapidly along with a revolution in the range and efficiency of new techniques and strategies for designing and evolving proteins in the laboratory. While recent advances in high-throughput screening te...
متن کاملNew constitutive vectors: useful genetic engineering tools for biocatalysis.
Constitutive vectors are useful tools for genetic engineering. Two constitutive vectors with high levels of expression and broad host ranges were developed and used in a range of Pseudomonas hosts. The vectors showed superior characteristics compared to the inducible vectors as well as the potential to be used as improved genetic tools for biocatalysis.
متن کاملEngineering Non-Heme Mono- and Dioxygenases for Biocatalysis
Oxygenases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze the introduction of one or two oxygen atoms to unreactive chemical compounds. They require reduction equivalents from NADH or NADPH and comprise metal ions, metal ion complexes, or coenzymes in their active site. Thus, for industrial purposes, oxygenases are most commonly employed using whole cell catalysis, to alleviate the need for co-factor reg...
