During the last decades, biocatalysis became of increasing importance for chemical and
pharmaceutical industries. Regarding regio-and stereospecificity, enzymes have shown to …

The potential of biosurfactant PS to permeabilize bacterial cells of Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Bacillus subtilis on growing (in vivo) and resting (in vitro) …

β-Oxidation cycle reactions, which are key stages in the metabolism of fatty acids in
eucaryotic cells and in processes with a significant role in the degradation of acids used by …

The outer membrane of microbial cells forms an effective barrier for hydrophobic
compounds, potentially causing an uptake limitation for hydrophobic substrates. Low …

Abstract Background Glucosylglycerol (2-O-α-d-glucosyl-sn-glycerol; GG) is a natural
osmolyte from bacteria and plants. It has promising applications as cosmetic and food-and …

Short-chain aliphatic esters are small volatile molecules that produce fruity and pleasant
aromas and flavors. Most of these esters are artificially produced or extracted from natural …

In the present work, glycerol biotransformation using Gluconobacter strains was studied with
a process intensification perspective that facilitated the development of a cleaner and more …

Abstract Glucose dehydrogenases (GluDH) from Bacillus species offer several advantages
over other NAD (P) H regeneration systems including high stability, inexpensive substrate …

In this study, we developed a whole-cell biocatalysis process for high-level conversion of l-
lysine into 5-aminovalerate. To obtain the highly efficient whole-cell biocatalyst, five …

Background Whole cell-catalyzed biotransformation is a clear process option for the
production of chiral alcohols via enantioselective reduction of precursor ketones. A wide …
