  • Publication number: 20220260496
    Abstract: A transcriptional regulator LhgR is specifically responsive to L-2-hydroxyglutarate (L-2-HG) and an L-2-HG biosensor based on this transcriptional regulator; wherein the biosensor is a fusion protein of cyan fluorescent protein mTFP, L-2-HG specific transcriptional regulator LhgR, and yellow fluorescent protein Venus, including three types of L-2-HG biosensor LHGFR0N0C, LHGFR0N3C, and LHGFR0N7C. The application of the L-2-HG biosensor in the detection of L-2-HG-containing biological samples, real-time detection of intracellular L-2-HG concentration in bacteria and in human cells. The experiments confirmed that the biosensor can achieve high specificity, sensitivity, and accuracy in the detection of L-2-HG and can determine intracellular L-2-HG dynamics in real time, which has good application prospects.

  • Publication number: 20090186399
    Abstract: A method of vanillin production from ferulic acid with a high concentration by biotransformation using a Streptomyces sp. strain is claimed in this invention. This strain is named as Streptomyces sp. V-1, which has been deposited in China Center for Type Culture Collection on Jul. 12, 2006 with the number of CCTCC M 206065. Using this strain, high concentration of vanillin fermentation broth is obtained from ferulic acid by biotransformation in GY biotransformation medium. With the addition of macroporous adsorbent resin DM11, the concentration of vanillin can be greatly improved. The advantage of this invention is less environmental pollution, high product concentration, less by-product, short processing cycle, low production cost, simple product extraction, clean production process, product environmental friendly, safe and reliable, which solves many difficulties in the vanillin production from botanical raw material extraction or chemical synthesis, and therefore it has good application prospect.
