Identification of Chloroacetaldehyde Dehydrogenase Involved in 1,2-Dichloroethane Degradation

TL;DR: The degradation of 1,2-dichloroethane and 2-chloroethanol by Xanthobacter autotrophicus GJ10 proceeds via chloroacetaldehyde, a reactive and potentially toxic intermediate as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lyophilization conditions for the storage of monooxygenases

TL;DR: Lyophilization in the presence of 2% (w/v) sucrose was found to be the best formulation to preserve activity and protect against inactivation when stored as lyophilizate at 50°C.
Journal ArticleDOI

Aminoacyl-coenzyme A synthesis catalyzed by a CoA ligase from Penicillium chrysogenum

TL;DR: The synthesis of aminoacyl‐coenzyme As (CoAs) catalyzed by a CoA ligase from Penicillium chrysogenum is described, and it is suggested that alanine 312 is part of the active site cavity, and mutagenesis (A312G) yielded a variant that has an enhanced catalytic efficiency with β‐phenylalanines and d‐α‐ phenylalanine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adaptation of Pseudomonas sp. GJ1 to 2-bromoethanol caused by overexpression of an NAD-dependent aldehyde dehydrogenase with low affinity for halogenated aldehydes

TL;DR: To achieve growth with 2-bromoethanol, the high expression of the enzyme appears to be necessary in order to compensate for the high Km for bromoacetaldehyde and for inactivation of the enzymes by bromOacetaldehyde.
