Biotransformation of 4-halophenols to 4-halocatechols using Escherichia coli expressing 4-hydroxyphenylacetate 3-hydroxylase
(Springer, New York, 2011)
Escherichia coli cells, expressing 4-hydroxyphenylacetate 3-hydroxylase, fully transformed 4-halogenated phenols to their equivalent catechols as single products in shaken flasks. 4-Fluorophenol was transformed at a rate ...
Isolation and characterization of four novel Gram-positive bacteria associated with the rhizosphere of two endemorelict plants capable of degrading a broad range of aromatic substrates
(Springer, New York, 2011)
Four new Gram-positive, phenol-degrading strains were isolated from the rhizospheres of endemorelict plants Ramonda serbica and Ramonda nathaliae known to exude high amounts of phenolics in the soil. Isolates were designated ...
The oxidation of alkylaryl sulfides and benzo[b]thiophenes by Escherichia coli cells expressing wild-type and engineered styrene monooxygenase from Pseudomonas putida CA-3
(Springer, New York, 2013)
Nine different sulfur-containing compounds were biotransformed to the corresponding sulfoxides by Escherichia coli Bl21(DE3) cells expressing styrene monooxygenase (SMO) from Pseudomonas putida CA-3. Thioanisole was consumed ...
In vitro evolution of styrene monooxygenase from Pseudomonas putida CA-3 for improved epoxide synthesis
(Springer, New York, 2010)
The styAB genes from Pseudomonas putida CA-3, which encode styrene monooxygenase, were subjected to three rounds of in vitro evolution using error-prone polymerase chain reaction with a view to improving the rate of styrene ...
Streptomyces spp. in the biocatalysis toolbox
(Springer, New York, 2018)
About 20,100 research publications dated 2000-2017 were recovered searching the PubMed and Web of Science databases for Streptomyces, which are the richest known source of bioactive molecules. However, these bacteria with ...
Properties and applications of undecylprodigiosin and other bacterial prodigiosins
(Springer, New York, 2014)
The growing demand to fulfill the needs of present-day medicine in terms of novel effective molecules has lead to reexamining some of the old and known bacterial secondary metabolites. Bacterial prodigiosins (prodiginines) ...
Structural diversity and possible functional roles of free fatty acids of the novel soil isolate Streptomyces sp NP10
(Springer, New York, 2015)
Herein, a novel soil bacterium Streptomyces sp. NP10 able to grow outside usual streptomycetes optimum conditions (e.g., at 4 A degrees C, pH 9 and high NaCl concentration), exhibiting atypical hemolytic, DNAse, and ...
Not so monofunctional-a case of thermostable Thermobifida fusca catalase with peroxidase activity
(Springer, New York, 2015)
Thermobifida fusca is a mesothermophilic organism known for its ability to degrade plant biomass and other organics, and it was demonstrated that it represents a rich resource of genes encoding for potent enzymes for ...
Catalases as biocatalysts in technical applications: current state and perspectives
(Springer, New York, 2015)
Catalases represent a class of enzymes which has found its place among industrially relevant biocatalysts due to their exceptional catalytic rate and high stability. Textile bleaching prior to the dyeing process is the ...
Tyramine-modified pectins via periodate oxidation for soybean hull peroxidase induced hydrogel formation and immobilization
(Springer, New York, 2017)
Pectin was modified by oxidation with sodium periodate at molar ratios of 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mol% and reductive amination with tyramine and sodium cyanoborohydride afterwards. Concentration of tyramine groups within ...
