Engineering of 2‐ketoacid Decarboxylases for Production of Isobutanol and Other Fusel Alcohols in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isobutanol is a fusel alcohol that can be produced microbially for use as a biofuel or upgraded into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). A key enzyme in the isobutanol biosynthetic pathway is 2‐ketoacid decarboxylase (KDC), which irreversibly decarboxylates 2‐ketoisovalerate (KIV) to yield isobutyraldehyde.

Threshold behavior in metastable dissociation of multi-photon ionized thymine and uracil [PDF]

, 2017
Microsecond-timescale HNCO loss has been observed from single-color multi-photon ionized pyrimidine nucleobases in the gas phase. Photon energy thresholds for the metastable channels have been measured at 5.55 ± 0.02 eV for thymine and 5.57 ± 0.02 eV for

Enhanced deoxyviolacein bioproduction via enzyme condensation with a yeast glycolytic enzyme‐derived peptide tag

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Fusion of a 27‐amino‐acid peptide tag derived from a glycolytic enzyme enabled artificial assembly formation of the two violacein biosynthetic enzymes, VioE and VioC. This assembly resulted in enhanced biosynthesis of deoxyviolacein. Abstract In microbial production, regulating endogenous and exogenous synthetic pathways is essential.
