Alcohol Dehydrogenases with anti‐Prelog Stereopreference in Synthesis of Enantiopure Alcohols
Biocatalytic production of both enantiomers of optically active alcohols with high enantiopurities is of great interest in industry. Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) represent an important class of enzymes that could be used as catalysts to produce optically active alcohols from their corresponding…

Current Status of and Future Perspectives in Bacterial Degradation of Benzo[a]pyrene
Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) is one the main pollutants belonging to the high-molecular-weight PAHs (HMW-PAHs) class and its degradation by microorganisms remains an important strategy for its removal from the environment. Extensive studies have been carried out on the isolation and characterisation of…

Oxidation of Cyclohexane to Cyclohexanol/Cyclohexanone Using Sol‐Gel‐Encapsulated Unspecific Peroxygenase from Agrocybe aegerita
Unspecific peroxygenase from Agrocybe aegerite (AaeUPO) is a remarkable catalyst for the oxyfunctionalization of non‐activated C−H bonds under mild conditions. It exhibits comparable activity to P450 monooxygenase but offers the advantage of using H(2)O(2) instead of a complex electron transport…

Synthesis of enantiomerically pure alcohols and amines via biocatalytic deracemisation methods
Deracemisation via chemo-enzymatic or multi-enzymatic approaches is the optimum substitute for kinetic resolution, which suffers from the limitation of a theoretical maximum 50% yield albeit high enantiomeric excess is attainable. This review covers the recent progress in various deracemisation…

Bacterial Degradation of Petroleum Hydrocarbons in Saudi Arabia
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is the leading oil-exploring and -exploiting country in the world. As a result, contamination of the environment by petroleum products (mainly hydrocarbons) is common, necessitating strategies for their removal from the environment. Much work has been conducted on…

Degradation of benzo[a]pyrene by halophilic bacterial strain Staphylococcus haemoliticus strain 10SBZ1A
The exploitation of petroleum oil generates a considerable amount of “produced water or petroleum waste effluent (PWE)” that is contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), including Benzo[a]pyrene (BaP). PWE is characterised by its high salinity, which can be as high as 30% NaCl…

Benzo[A]Pyrene Biodegradation by Multiple and Individual Mesophilic Bacteria under Axenic Conditions and in Soil Samples
To date, only a handful of bacterial strains that can independently degrade and utilize benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) as the sole carbon source has been isolated and characterized. Here, three new bacterial strains—JBZ1A, JBZ2B, and JBZ5E—were isolated from contaminated soil and, using 16S rRNA sequencing…

Enantiocomplementary Asymmetric Reduction of 2–Haloacetophenones Using TeSADH: Synthesis of Enantiopure 2-Halo-1-arylethanols
[Image: see text] Enantiopure 2-halo-1-arylethanols are essential precursors for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. This study investigates the asymmetric reduction of 2-haloacetophenones and their substituted analogs to obtain their corresponding optically active…

Enhanced biodegradation of phenanthrene and anthracene using a microalgal-bacterial consortium
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are chemicals that are released into the environment during activities of the petroleum industry. The bioaccumulation, carcinogenic and mutagenic potential of PAHs necessitates the bioremediation of these contaminants. However, bioremediation of PAHs has a…

A MYRISTOYL/PHOSPHOSERINE SWITCH CONTROLS cAMP-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASE ASSOCIATION TO MEMBRANES
The cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) mediates a myriad of cellular signaling events and its activity is tightly regulated both in space and time. Among these regulatory mechanisms is N-myristoylation, whose biological role has been elusive. Using a combination of thermodynamics, kinetics, and…
