Enantioselective transesterification using lipase-displaying yeast whole-cell biocatalyst

An enantioselective transesterification in non-aqueous organic solvent was developed by utilizing a lipase-displaying yeast whole cell biocatalyst constructed in our previous study. As a model reaction, optical resolution of (RS)-1-phenylethanol, which serves as one of chiral building blocks, was carried out by enantioselective transesterification with vinyl acetate. Recombinant Rhizopus oryzae lipase displayed on the yeast cell surface retained its activity in hexane, heptane, cyclohexane and octane. The effective amount of whole-cell biocatalyst in the reaction mixture was 10 mg/ml solvent. In a reaction mixture incubated for 36 h with molecular sieves 4A, the concentration of (R)-1-phenylethyl acetate reached 39.8 mM (97.3% yield) with high enantiomeric excess (93.3%ee). In contrast, a reaction mixture incubated without molecular sieves 4A produced little (R)- and (S)-1-phenylethyl acetate. The results obtained in this study demonstrate the applicability of the lipase-displaying yeast whole cell biocatalyst to bioconversion processes in non-aqueous organic solvents.     

Production of flavor esters catalyzed by CALB-displaying Pichia pastoris whole-cells in a batch reactor

Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) has been employed as an efficient catalyst in the preparation of many flavor esters. A CALB-displaying yeast whole-cell biocatalyst could be an attractive alternative to commercial immobilized CALB because of its low-cost preparation and high enzymatic activity. We investigated the potential application of CALB-displaying Pichia pastoris cells for the production of flavor esters. The optimal conditions for flavor esters synthesis by this biocatalyst were determined in 50-ml shake flasks. Under optimized conditions, the synthesis of 12 kinds flavor esters were scaled up in a 5-l batch stirred reactor. Among these, the mole conversions of 10 exceeded 95% after reactions for 4h. In addition, this biocatalyst showed good tolerance for high substrates concentration and excellent operational stability. Repeated use of the cells in 10 batches resulted in an activity loss of less than 10%. Thus, CALB-displaying P. pastoris whole cells are robust biocatalysts with potential commercial application in the large-scale production of flavor esters in non-aqueous media.     

Enhancement of activity of lipase-displaying yeast cells and their application to optical resolution of (R,S)-1-benzyloxy-3-chloro-2-propyl monosuccinate

Rhizopus oryzae lipase (ROL) was displayed on the cell surface of Saccharomyces cerevisiae via the Flo1 N-terminal region (1100 amino acids), which corresponds to a flocculation functional domain. The activity of lipase-displaying yeast whole-cell biocatalysts was enhanced 7.3-fold by incubation of the yeast cells at 20 degrees C in distilled water for 8 days after 8 day cultivation. The amount of lipase molecules present in cell wall and intracellular fractions was found to be increased 4.5- and 1.8-fold, respectively, by incubation, which proves that ROL molecules are expressed during incubation. The ROL-displaying yeast whole-cell biocatalyst with enhanced activity was successfully catalyzed by optical resolution of the pharmaceutical precursor (R,S)-1-benzyloxy-3-chloro-2-propyl monosuccinate. Moreover, it showed stable activity through at least eight reaction cycles. These results demonstrate that ROL-displaying yeast cells with enhanced activity by incubation in distilled water are very effective in industrial bioconversion processes.     

Synthesisof fructose laurate esters catalyzed by a CALB-displaying Pichia pastoris whole-cell biocatalyst in a non-aqueous system

Earlier studies on fructose laurate ester products have shown that recombinant Pichia pastoris displaying Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) on the cell surface acts as an efficient whole-cell biocatalyst for sugar ester production from fructose and lauric acid in an organic solvent. The effects of various reaction factors, including solvent composition, substrate molar ratio, enzyme dose, temperature and water activity, on esterification catalyzed by the CALB-displaying P. pastoris whole-cell biocatalyst were examined in the present study. Under the preferred reaction conditions, specifically, 5 mL organic solvent mixture of 2-methyl-2-butanol/DMSO (20% v/v), 2 mmol fructose with a lauric acid to fructose molar ratio of 2:1, 0.3 g whole-cell biocatalyst (1,264 U/g dry cell) with an initial water activity of 0.11, 1.2 g 4Å molecular sieve, reaction temperature of 55oC and 200 rpm stirring speed, the fructose mono laurate ester yield was 78% (w/w). The CALBdisplaying P. pastoris whole-cell biocatalyst exhibited good operational stability, with an evident increase, rather than decrease, in relative activity after the continuous recover and reuse cycle. The relative activity of the biocatalyst remained 50% higher than that of the first batch, even following reuse for 15 batches. Our results collectively indicate that the CALB-displaying P. pastoris whole-cell biocatalyst may be potentially utilized in lieu of free or immobilized enzyme to effectively produce non-ionic surfactants such as fatty acid sugar esters, offering the significant advantages of cost-effectiveness, good operational stability and mild reaction conditions.

     

Efficient synthesis of Guanfu base G via highly regioselective lipase-catalyzed acylation in non-aqueous phase

Lipase-catalyzed acylation of Guanfu alcohol-amine (GFAA) with vinyl acetate (VA) was performed in non-aqueous system for the preparation of Guanfu base G (GFG), a plant-originated alkaloid with significant antiarrhythmic activity. Among the eight lipases from different origins, Novozym 435 was found to be the best biocatalyst. The most suitable molecular sieve amount, substrate concentration, molar ratio of VA to GFAA, enzyme amount and reaction temperature were proved to be 40 mg/mL, 6 μmol/mL, 10:1, 2mg/mL and 50 °C, respectively. A maximum GFG yield of 37.4% was achieved under the selected conditions with methanol served as the optimal reaction medium. The structure of the acetylated product was elucidated by (1)H NMR and (13)C NMR analysis.     

One-pot bio-synthesis of propyl gallate by a novel whole-cell biocatalyst

Propyl gallate has an excellent antioxidative capacity and some pharmaceutical potentials. In order to examine the feasibility for one-pot bio-synthesis of propyl gallate catalyzed by a whole-cell biocatalyst in organic media, a whole-cell biocatalyst of Aspergillus niger was prepared and utilized to catalyze the transesterification with tannic acid as a raw material. Furthermore, both the catalytic system and the reaction mode were optimized to further improve the conversion rate of substrate. The result shows that a promising conversion rate, 43%, was achieved by the pH-tuned mycelium-bound tannase. The rate is over than or very close to that achieved by isolated tannase. The study on reaction mode indicates that the simulated continuous catalysis is the most suitable to the transesterification as compared to batch catalysis and batch catalysis coupled with product separation. Accordingly, the one-pot bio-synthesis of propyl gallate by the novel whole-cell biocatalyst has such three advantages as easy operability of the biocatalyst, high efficiency of reaction mode, and the abundance of the natural raw material, which will contribute to constructing an efficient and eco-friendly method for one-pot synthesis of propyl gallate in an economical and ecological manner.

Construction of a whole-cell catalyst displaying a fungal lipase for effective treatment of oily wastewaters

To combine the advantage of the oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica with the high activity of some fungal lipases for oily wastewater treatment, an effective lipase-displaying arming yeast was constructed using the flocculation functional domain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae as the protein anchor. To estimate the effect of the whole-cell oily wastewater treatment, the lipase-displaying arming yeast was added into an open activated sludge bioreactor. Within 72 h of whole-cell treatment, 96.9% of oil and 97.6% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) were removed, while only 87.1% of oil and 91.8% of COD were removed in control A (Y. lipolytica Polg was added), 45.1% of oil and 67.5% of COD were removed in control B (no cell was added) in 72 h. The lipase-displaying arming yeast exhibited remarkable oil removal and COD degradation effect compared with the control samples, exemplifying its application potential.     

Development of an Aspergillus oryzae whole-cell biocatalyst coexpressing triglyceride and partial glyceride lipases for biodiesel production

An Aspergillus oryzae whole-cell biocatalyst which coexpresses Fusarium heterosporum lipase (FHL) and mono- and di-acylglycerol lipase B (mdlB) in the same cell has been developed to improve biodiesel production. By screening a number of transformants, the best strain was obtained when FHL gene was integrated into A. oryzae chromosome using sC selection marker while mdlB was integrated using niaD selection marker. The reaction system using the lipase-coexpressing whole-cells was found to be superior in biodiesel production to others such as lipase-mixing and two-step reactions, affording the highest reaction rate and the highest ME content (98%). Moreover, an ME content of more than 90% was maintained during 10 repeated batch cycles. The whole-cell biocatalyst developed in this work would be promising biocatalysts for efficient biodiesel production.     

Cell-surface phytase on Pichia pastoris cell wall offers great potential as a feed supplement

Cell-surface expression of phytase allows the enzyme to be expressed and anchored on the cell surface of Pichia pastoris . This avoids tedious downstream processes such as purification and separation involved with extracellular expression. In addition, yeast cells with anchored proteins can be used as a whole-cell biocatalyst with high value added. In this work, the phytase was expressed on the cell surface of P. pastoris with a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchoring system. The recombinant phytase was shown to be located at the cell surface. The cell-surface phytase exhibited high activity with an optimal temperature at 50–55 °C and two optimal pH peaks of 3 and 5.5. The surface-displayed phytase also exhibited similar pH stability and pepsin resistance to the native and secreted phytase. In vitro digestibility test showed that P. pastoris containing cell-surface phytase released phosphorus from feedstuff at a level similar to secreted phytase. Yeast cells expressing phytase also provide additional nutrients, especially biotin and niacin. Thus, P. pastoris with phytase displayed on its surface has a great potential as a whole-cell supplement to animal feed.
