Fig. 5From: In vivo plug-and-play: a modular multi-enzyme single-cell catalyst for the asymmetric amination of ketoacids and ketonesFermentative amination of α-ketoacids with enzyme-coupled NADH regeneration. Fermentative reductive amination of KMV to l-isoleucine with Ec-AlaDH carrying pTrc99A-avtA (catalyst 3a, 4a, 5a) or pTrc99A-ald-avtA (catalyst 3b, 4b, 5b) and using either FDH (a), GDH (b) or PtDH (c) for cofactor regeneration. Strains were inoculated in SGA medium with OD600 4 and 100 mM co-substrate, 50 mM (NH4)2SO4 and 0–250 mM l-alanine were added to push the reaction equilibrium towards product sideBack to article page
