TL;DR: It is reported that 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF) is a promising candidate to substitute DMSO or MTBE in lyase-catalyzed reactions, and may be a valuable (co)solvent, not only to tackle environmental concerns, but also in terms of practical, efficient biocatalysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the ion conductivity and permselectivity of conducting polymer polypyrrole in dependence of the oxidation state were investigated. But the results were limited to a two-compartment measurement cell.

TL;DR: Using a genetic algorithm, 13 medium constituents and the temperature were varied to improve the bioconversion of l -phenylalanine ( l -phe) to 2-phenylethanol (2-PE) with Kluyveromyces marxianus CBS 600.
Abstract: Using a genetic algorithm, 13 medium constituents and the temperature were varied to improve the bioconversion of l -phenylalanine ( l -phe) to 2-phenylethanol (2-PE) with Kluyveromyces marxianus CBS 600. Within four generations plus an additional temperature screening, corresponding to 98 parallel experiments altogether, a maximum 2-PE concentration of 5.6 g/l, equivalent to an increase of 87% compared to the non-optimized medium was obtained. The vitamin content of the medium had to be raised significantly.

TL;DR: An integrated bioprocess for the production of the natural rose-like aroma compounds, 2-PE and 2-phenylethylacetate (2-PEAc), from L-phenylalanine (L-phe) with yeasts was investigated in this article.
Abstract: An integrated bioprocess for the production of the natural rose-like aroma compounds, 2-phenylethanol (2-PE) and 2-phenylethylacetate (2-PEAc), from L-phenylalanine (L-phe) with yeasts was investigated. The hydrophobicity of the products leads to product inhibition, which can be compensated by in situ product removal (ISPR). An organophilic pervaporation unit, equipped with a polyoctylmethylsiloxane (POMS) membrane, was coupled via a bypass to a bioreactor and proved to be a suitable technique for the in situ removal of high-boiling products from culture broth. With batch cultures of the thermotolerant yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus CBS 600 in a standard medium at 35 degrees C, the use of pervaporation resulted in a double 2-PE concentration (2.2 g/L) and 1.3 g/L 2-PEAc, which only accumulated transiently in low concentrations during cultivation without ISPR. Using a previously optimized medium, the variation of the temperature from 30 degrees C to 40 degrees C caused an increase in the total conversion yield from 63% to 79%, corresponding to total product concentrations of 5.23 and 5.85 g/L, respectively. In the 40 degrees C batch experiment, the volumetric productivity (2-PE + 2-PEAc) during the exponential phase was 5.2 mmol/L h. While for 2-PE, there is still potential for further optimization, the more hydrophobic 2-PEAc was nearly completely removed from the aqueous culture broth (enrichment factor >400), resulting in highly aroma-enriched permeates. Due to the temperature-correlated performance of the pervaporation, the bioconversion was still efficient even at 45 degrees C (conversion yield: 69%). Surprisingly, at 45 degrees C, the molar ratio of the two products inverted and 2-PEAc turned out to be the main product (4.0 g/L), which opens easy control of the reaction's selectivity by external means. Retrofitting the process with interim heating and cooling equipment to use different temperature levels for cultivation and pervaporation resulted in a decreased yield and product concentration caused by multiple stress factors. The medium composition affected the pervaporation efficiency with molasses acting detrimental.

TL;DR: The versatile enzyme chloroperoxidase was used in a new reaction system, based on a gas diffusion electrode, for enzymatic chlorinations, sulfoxidations and oxidations, which is the first report on the combination of hydrogen peroxide production at a GDE with an enzyme reaction.
