The genome of Pelobacter carbinolicus reveals surprising metabolic capabilities and physiological features [PDF]
, 2012 Background The bacterium Pelobacter carbinolicus is able to grow by fermentation, syntrophic hydrogen/formate transfer, or electron transfer to sulfur from short-chain alcohols, hydrogen or formate; it does not oxidize acetate and is not known to ferment

Identification of novel members of the bacterial azoreductase family in 'Pseudomonas aeruginosa' [PDF]
, 2016 Azoreductases are a family of diverse enzymes found in many pathogenic bacteria as well as distant homologues being present in eukarya. In addition to having azoreductase activity these enzymes are also suggested to have NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.This review highlights recent advances in integrating biocatalysis and chemocatalysis in continuous flow to create streamlined, sustainable processes. It examines chemo‐enzymatic cascades combining at least one enzymatic and one chemical step, discusses challenges such as enzyme immobilization, leaching, and reactor clogging, and presents solutions ...

Constructing and testing the thermodynamic limits of synthetic NAD(P)H:H-2 pathways [PDF]
, 2008 NAD(P)H:H(2) pathways are theoretically predicted to reach equilibrium at very low partial headspace H(2) pressure. An evaluation of the directionality of such near-equilibrium pathways in vivo, using a defined experimental system, is therefore important

Characterization of the novel ene reductase Ppo-Er1 from paenibacillus polymyxa [PDF]
, 2020 Ene reductases enable the asymmetric hydrogenation of activated alkenes allowing the manufacture of valuable chiral products. The enzymes complement existing metal- and organocatalytic approaches for the stereoselective reduction of activated C=C double ...

Control of reactive intermediates in enzymes and enzyme complexes [PDF]
, 2018 Enzymes are the catalysts of life. They accelerate the rate of chemical reactions that would otherwise take longer than an organism’s lifetime to take just millisecond.

Engineering the isobutanol biosynthetic pathway in Escherichia coli by comparison of three aldehyde reductase/alcohol dehydrogenase genes [PDF]
, 2009 Biofuels synthesized from renewable resources are of increasing interest because of global energy and environmental problems. We have previously demonstrated production of higher alcohols from Escherichia coli using a 2-keto acid-based pathway.
