P450 fatty acid decarboxylases (FADCs) have recently been attracting considerable attention owing to their one-step direct production of industrially important 1-alkenes from biologically abundant feedstock free fatty acids under mild conditions. However, attempts to improve the catalytic activity of FADCs have met with little success. Protein engineering has been limited to selected residues and small mutant libraries due to lack of an effective high-throughput screening (HTS) method. Here, we devise a catalase-deficient <i>Escherichia coli</i> host strain and report an HTS approach based on colorimetric detection of H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>-consumption activity of FADCs. Directed evolution enabled by this method has led to effective identification for the first time of improved FADC variants for medium-chain 1-alkene production from both DNA shuffling and random mutagenesis libraries. Advantageously, this screening method can be extended to other enzymes that stoichiometrically utilize H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> as co-substrate.

We have developed a solid-phase, high throughput (10,000 clones/day) screen for dioxygenase activity. The cis-di- hydrodiol product of dioxygenase bioconversion is converted to a phenol by acidification or to a catechol by reaction with cis-dihydrodiol dehydrogenase. Gibbs reagent reacts quickly with these oxygenated aromatics to yield colored products that are quantifiable using a microplate reader or by digital imaging and image analysis. The method is reproducible and quantitative at product concentrations of only 30,uM, with essentially no background from media components. This method is an effective general screen for aromatic oxidation and should be a useful tool for the discovery and directed evolution of oxygenases.
