Biotransformation is an effective method to generate new derivatives from natural products. Combination of various enzymes or whole-cell biocatalysts creates new opportunities for natural product biosynthesis. Dihydroresorcylide (1) is a phytotoxic macrolactone from Acremonium aeae. It was first chlorinated at C-11 by an engineered Escherichia coli BL21-CodonPlus (DE3)-RIL/pJZ54 strain that overexpresses a fungal flavin-dependent halogenase, and subsequently glycosylated at 12-OH by Beauveria bassiana ATCC 7159, giving rise to a novel derivative, 11-chloro-4′- O-methyl-12- O-β-D-glucosyl-dihydroresorcylide (3). Although 1 can be converted into a new 4′- O-methyl-glucosylated derivative 4 by B. bassiana, this product cannot be further chlorinated by E. coli BL21-CodonPlus (DE3)-RIL/pJZ54 to afford 3. The sequence of these two biotransformation steps was thus restricted and not interchangeable. This sequential biotransformation approach can be applied to other structurally similar natural products to create novel derivatives.

Putrescine, a biogenic amine, is a highly valued compound in medicine, industry, and agriculture. In this study, we report a whole-cell biocatalytic method in Escherichia coli for the production of putrescine, using L-arginine as the substrate. L-arginine decarboxylase and agmatine ureohydrolase were co-expressed to produce putrescine from L-arginine. Ten plasmids with different copy numbers and ordering of genes were constructed to balance the expression of the two enzymes, and the best strain was pACYCDuet-speB-speA. The optimal concentration of L-arginine was determined to be 20 mM for this strain. The optimum pH of the biotransformation was 9.5, and the optimum temperature was 45 °C; under these conditions, the yield of putrescine was 98%. This whole-cell biocatalytic method appeared to have great potential for the production of putrescine.

Abstract Background Fluorinases play a unique role in the production of fluorine-containing organic molecules by biological methods. Whole-cell catalysis is a better choice in the large-scale fermentation processes, and over 60% of industrial biocatalysis uses this method. However, the in vivo catalytic efficiency of fluorinases is stuck with the mass transfer of the substrates. Results A gene sequence encoding a protein with fluorinase function was fused to the N-terminal of ice nucleation protein, and the fused fluorinase was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) cells. SDS-PAGE and immunofluorescence microscopy were used to demonstrate the surface localization of the fusion protein. The fluorinase displayed on the surface showed good stability while retaining the catalytic activity. The engineered E.coli with surface-displayed fluorinase could be cultured to obtain a larger cell density, which was beneficial for industrial application. And 55% yield of 5′-fluorodeoxyadenosine (5′-FDA) from S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) was achieved by using the whole-cell catalyst. Conclusions Here, we created the fluorinase-containing surface display system on E.coli cells for the first time. The fluorinase was successfully displayed on the surface of E.coli and maintained its catalytic activity. The surface display provides a new solution for the industrial application of biological fluorination. Graphical Abstract
