Ethanol production by the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus by expression of bacterial bifunctional alcohol dehydrogenases

Microbial Biotechnology, 2017
Summary Ethanol is an important target for the renewable production of liquid transportation fuels. It can be produced biologically from pyruvate, via pyruvate decarboxylase, or from acetyl‐CoA, by alcohol dehydrogenase E (AdhE).

Amide and Thioester Synthesis Via Oxidative Coupling of Alcohols with Amines or Thiols Using Alcohol Dehydrogenases

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) are best known for reducing ketones to chiral alcohols, but their oxidative potential is rarely exploited. Here, we show that selected ADHs catalyze newly discovered promiscuous transformations: the oxidative coupling of primary alcohols with amines or thiols, enabling the direct and efficient synthesis of a broad range of

Knock-down of genes essential for homoacetogenic growth using sugar inducible promoters in the thermophile Thermoanaerobacter kivui

bioRxiv
Given recent interest in hydrogen (H2) as a medium for storing and transporting renewable energy, the ability of acetogenic bacteria to use H2 to directly fix carbon dioxide (CO2) shows great promise.
