AbstractHydroxycinnamic acids such as p-coumaric acid (CA) are chemically linked to lignin in grassy biomass with fairly labile ester bonds and therefore represent a straightforward opportunity to extract and valorize lignin components. In this work, we investigated the enzymatic conversion of CA extracted from lignocellulose to 4-vinylphenol (4VP) by expressing a microbial phenolic acid decarboxylase in Corynebacterium glutamicum, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus subtilis. The performance of the recombinant strains was evaluated in response to the substrate concentration in rich medium or a lignin liquor and the addition of an organic overlay to perform a continuous product extraction in batch cultures. We found that using undecanol as an overlay enhanced the 4VP titers under high substrate concentrations, while extracting > 97% of the product from the aqueous phase. C. glutamicum showed the highest tolerance to CA and resulted in the accumulation of up to 187 g/L of 4VP from pure CA in the overlay with a 90% yield when using rich media, or 17 g/L of 4VP with a 73% yield from CA extracted from lignin. These results indicate that C. glutamicum is a suitable host for the high-level production of 4VP and that further bioprocess engineering strategies should be explored to optimize the production, extraction, and purification of 4VP from lignin with this organism.

ABSTRACT Human leptin is a 16-kDa (146-amino-acid) protein that is secreted from adipocytes and influences body weight homeostasis. In order to obtain high-level production of leptin, the human obesegene coding for leptin was expressed in Escherichia coliBL21(DE3) under the strong inducible T7 promoter. The recombinant leptin was produced as inclusion bodies in E. coli, and the recombinant leptin content was as high as 54% of the total protein content. For production of recombinant human leptin in large amounts, pH-stat fed-batch cultures were grown. Expression of leptin was induced at three different cell optical densities at 600 nm (OD600), 30, 90, and 140. When cells were induced at an OD600 of 90, the amount of leptin produced was 9.7 g/liter (37% of the total protein). After simple purification steps consisting of inclusion body isolation, denaturation and refolding, and anion-exchange chromatography, 144.9 mg of leptin that was more than 90% pure was obtained from a 50-ml culture, and the recovery yield was 41.1%.
