Abstractε-Caprolactone is a monomer of poly(ε-caprolactone) which has been widely used in tissue engineering due to its biodegradability and biocompatibility. To meet the massive demand for this monomer, an efficient whole-cell biocatalytic approach was constructed to boost the ε-caprolactone production using cyclohexanol as substrate. Combining an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) with a cyclohexanone monooxygenase (CHMO) in Escherichia coli, a self-sufficient NADPH-cofactor regeneration system was obtained. Furthermore, some improved variants with the better substrate tolerance and higher catalytic ability to ε-caprolactone production were designed by regulating the ribosome binding sites. The best mutant strain exhibited an ε-caprolactone yield of 0.80 mol/mol using 60 mM cyclohexanol as substrate, while the starting strain only got a conversion of 0.38 mol/mol when 20 mM cyclohexanol was supplemented. The engineered whole-cell biocatalyst was used in four sequential batches to achieve a production of 126 mM ε-caprolactone with a high molar yield of 0.78 mol/mol.

An auto-inducing expression system was developed that could express target genes in S. marcescens MG1. Using this system, MG1 was constructed as a whole-cell biocatalyst to produce 2,3-butanediol/acetoin. Formate dehydrogenase (FDH) and 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase were expressed together to build an NADH regeneration system to transform diacetyl to 2,3-butanediol. After fermentation, the extract of recombinant S. marcescens MG1ABC (pETDuet-bdhA-fdh) showed 2,3-BDH activity of 57.8 U/mg and FDH activity of 0.5 U/mg. And 27.95 g/L of 2,3-BD was achieved with a productivity of 4.66 g/Lh using engineered S. marcescens MG1(Pswnb+pETDuet-bdhA-fdh) after 6 h incubation. Next, to produce 2,3-butanediol from acetoin, NADH oxidase and 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis were co-expressed to obtain a NAD+ regeneration system. After fermentation, the recombinant strain S. marcescens MG1ABC (pSWNB+pETDuet-bdhA-yodC) showed AR activity of 212.4 U/mg and NOX activity of 150.1 U/mg. We obtained 44.9 g/L of acetoin with a productivity of 3.74 g/Lh using S. marcescens MG1ABC (pSWNB+pETDuet-bdhA-yodC). This work confirmed that S. marcescens could be designed as a whole-cell biocatalyst for 2,3-butanediol and acetoin production.

Cadaverine is a C5 diamine monomer used for the production of bio-based polyamide 510. Cadaverine is produced by the decarboxylation of l-lysine using a lysine decarboxylase (LDC). In this study, we developed recombinant Escherichia coli strains for the expression of LDC from Hafnia alvei. The resulting recombinant XBHaLDC strain was used as a whole cell biocatalyst for the high-level bioconversion of l-lysine into cadaverine without the supplementation of isopropyl β-d-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) for the induction of protein expression and pyridoxal phosphate (PLP), a key cofactor for an LDC reaction. The comparison of results from enzyme characterization of E. coli and H. alvei LDC revealed that H. alvei LDC exhibited greater bioconversion ability than E. coli LDC due to higher levels of protein expression in all cellular fractions and a higher specific activity at 37 °C (1825 U/mg protein > 1003 U/mg protein). The recombinant XBHaLDC and XBEcLDC strains were constructed for the high-level production of cadaverine. Recombinant XBHaLDC produced a 1.3-fold higher titer of cadaverine (6.1 g/L) than the XBEcLDC strain (4.8 g/L) from 10 g/L of l-lysine. Furthermore, XBHaLDC, concentrated to an optical density (OD600) of 50, efficiently produced 136 g/L of cadaverine from 200 g/L of l-lysine (97% molar yield) via an IPTG- and PLP-free whole cell bioconversion reaction. Cadaverine synthesized via a whole cell biocatalyst reaction using XBHaLDC was purified to polymer grade, and purified cadaverine was successfully used for the synthesis of polyamide 510. In conclusion, an IPTG- and PLP-free whole cell bioconversion process of l-lysine into cadaverine, using recombinant XBHaLDC, was successfully utilized for the production of bio-based polyamide 510, which has physical and thermal properties similar to polyamide 510 synthesized from chemical-grade cadaverine.
