Carboxyl Methyltransferase Catalysed Formation of Mono- and Dimethyl Esters under Aqueous Conditions: Application in Cascade Biocatalysis

Lucy C. Ward et al.

Summary: Carboxyl methyltransferase enzymes from Aspergillus fumigatus showed high regioselectivity and good conversions in methylating a broad range of aromatic mono- and dicarboxylic acids. The second methylation of dicarboxylic acids exhibited strong pH dependence, with an optimum at pH 5.5-6. Potential for industrial biotechnology application was demonstrated in the production of a bioplastics precursor from bioderived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural.

Recent Progress on Bio-Based Polyesters Derived from 2,5-Furandicarbonxylic Acid (FDCA)

Xuan Fei et al.

Summary: The upgrading of sustainable materials to replace traditional petroleum resources is a significant challenge. A bio-based building material provides the foundation for the bio-market and green economy. 2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) shows potential as a substitute for terephthalic acid (TPA), and recent research has focused on the synthesis, modification, and functionalization of bio-based polyesters based on FDCA.

Synthetic Reagents for Enzyme-Catalyzed Methylation

Xiaojin Wen et al.

Summary: Late-stage methylation is a crucial technology in pharmaceutical compound development. Methyltransferase biocatalysis offers a powerful option for inserting methyl groups into complex molecules with high selectivity. However, large-scale application of methyltransferases is hindered by the expensive S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) co-substrate and the handling of volatile electrophiles like methyl iodide (MeI). To overcome these challenges, researchers have developed an enzyme-catalyzed process using methyl toluene sulfonate for SAM regeneration.

Metabolic engineering of Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 for production of pyridine-dicarboxylic acids from lignin

Edward M. Spence et al.

Summary: Genetic modification of Rhodococcus jostii RHA1 led to higher titres of pyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid and pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid bioproducts from lignin breakdown, through insertion of specific genes on expression vectors. Enhanced lignin degradation and increased productivity were observed, demonstrating the potential for improved bioproduct production through genetic engineering.

Microbial synthesis of vanillin from waste poly(ethylene terephthalate)

Joanna C. Sadler et al.

Summary: This study reports a novel approach to directly upcycle post-consumer PET waste into valuable vanillin using engineered Escherichia coli. After process optimization, a conversion rate of 79% from terephthalic acid to vanillin was achieved, marking a significant improvement in yield. This work demonstrates the first biological upcycling of post-consumer plastic waste into vanillin, showcasing the potential for sustainable solutions in the plastic recycling industry.
