Exploiting Archaeal/Thermostable Enzymes in Synthetic Chemistry: Back to the Future?

ChemCatChem, Volume 16, Issue 21, November 11, 2024.
Thermostable and (hyper)thermophilic enzymes offer important opportunities for innovative, stereoselective and sustainable chemistry transformations. Many of these are archaeal enzymes that have evolved to operate under extreme conditions, including at elevated temperature.

Characterization and comparative analysis of toxin–antitoxin systems in Acetobacter pasteurianus

Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2019
Abstract Bacterial toxin–antitoxin (TA) systems play important roles in diverse cellular regulatory processes. Here, we characterize three putative type II TA candidates from Acetobacter pasteurianus and investigate the profile of type II TA systems in the genus Acetobacter.

Two‐Step Biocatalytic Synthesis of (1S)‐Nor(pseudo)ephedrine Catalyzed by Immobilized Enzymes

ChemCatChem, Volume 16, Issue 19, October 7, 2024.
A biocatalytic cascade was designed for the synthesis of (1S,2S)‐norpseudoephedrine [(1S,2S)‐NPE] and (1S,2R)‐norephedrine [(1S,2R)‐NE], involving a benzoin‐type condensation catalyzed by (S)‐selective acetoin:dichlorophenolindophenol oxidoreductase (Ao : DCPIP OR), followed by a transamination mediated by (S)‐ or (R)‐selective amine transaminase (ATA).

Recent Progress in the Synthesis of α‐Hydroxy Carbonyl Compounds with ThDP‐dependent Carboligases

ChemCatChem, Volume 16, Issue 15, August 12, 2024.
Building carbon connections: ThDP‐dependent carboligases are biocatalysts for the (asymmetric) synthesis of α‐hydroxy‐carbonyl compounds. In this review article we summarize recent progress on structural characterization and application of carboligases for single‐ and multi‐step reactions.

Effects of kefir consumption on gut microbiota and health outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 12, Issue 8, Page 5632-5646, August 2024.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), characterized by chronic low‐grade inflammation, has many complications. Consuming 250 mL/day of kefir for 8 weeks increased the quality of life and reduced IL‐6 levels. In addition, while no significant change was observed in intestinal barrier permeability with kefir consumption, some positive changes were determined

Chemical Synthesis of Acetobacter pasteurianus Lipid A with a Unique Tetrasaccharide Backbone and Evaluation of Its Immunological Functions

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 136, Issue 24, June 10, 2024.
Lipid A contained in fermented foods is expected to be a safe immunostimulant. The first chemical synthesis of fermentative bacteria Acetobacter pasteurianus lipid A, an immune component in black rice vinegar, was achieved via borinic acid catalyzed 1,1’‐α,α‐glycosylation. Furthermore, glucuronic acid residue, a unique structure of A.
