Formate dehydrogenases (FDH) are useful for the regeneration of NADH, which is required for asymmetric reduction by several dehydrogenases and reductases. FDHs have relatively low activity and are labile, especially to alpha-haloketones, thus FDH cannot be applied to the industrial

Escherichia coli M15 (pQE30-car0210) was constructed to express carbonyl reductase (CAR) by cloning the car gene from Candida magnoliae and inserting it into pQE30. By cultivating E. coli M15 (pQE30-car0210) and M15 (pQE30-gdh0310), 8.2-fold and 12.3-fold enhancements in specific enzymatic

A novel NADH-dependent dehydrogenases/reductases (SDRs) superfamily reductase (PsCRII) was isolated from Pichia stipitis. It produced ethyl (S)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate [(S)-CHBE] in greater than 99% enantiomeric excess. This enzyme was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate precipitation followed by Q-Sepharose chromatography. Compared to

The enantioselectivity of ECAA to ECHB by eight fungi of four genus was evaluated. All strains showed (S)-selectivity, and Cylindrocarpon sclerotigenum IFO 31855 gave the highest yield and good optical purity (e.e.; >99%). Cell-free extract and acetone-dried cells of C.

The asymmetric reduction of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate (COBE) to ethyl (R)-4-chloro-3-hydroxybutanoate [(R)-CHBE] using Escherichia coli cells, which coexpress both the aldehyde reductase gene from Sporobolomyces salmonicolor and the glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) gene from Bacillus megaterium as a catalyst was investigated.
