  • Publication number: 20230157308
    Abstract: A permeabilized whole cell catalyst and method for conversion (reducing the amount) of a target substrate to one of more product are provided, wherein the catalyst is obtained by incubating the cells with a permeabilization agent selected from a fatty acid and fatty acid derivative, and wherein the permeabilized cells comprise an intracellular enzyme for catalyzing conversion of the target substrate. The target substrate transits through the channel, holes, or pore made in the cell membrane by the permeabilization agent, and is converted to products by enzymes retained within the cell.

  • Publication number: 20230051156
    Abstract: A method and use of nisin-permeabilized microbial cells as whole-cell catalysts for reducing the amount of a target substrate in a sample to one of more product are provided. Specifically, a method of reducing the amount of lactose in a dairy sample using nisin-permeabilized lactic acid bacterial cell catalysts, which have been permeabilized by incubating with a nisin producing microbial cell and/or culture medium derived therof. Further provided is a nisin producing microbial cell, derived from parent strain Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis bv. diacetylactis SD96 (NCBI accession No. SRX6686433).
