Falsirhodobacter sp. alg1 expresses two alginate lyases, AlyFRA and AlyFRB, to produce the linear monosaccharide 4-deoxy-L-erythro-5-hexoseulose uronic acid (DEH) from alginate, metabolizing it to pyruvate. In this study, we prepared recombinant AlyFRA and AlyFRB and their immobilized enzymes and investigated DEH production. Purified AlyFRA and AlyFRB reacted with sodium alginate and yielded approximately 96.8% DEH. Immobilized AlyFRA and AlyFRB were prepared using each crude enzyme solution and κ-carrageenan, and immobilized enzyme reuse in batch reactions and DEH yield were examined. Thus, DEH was produced in a relatively high yield of 79.6%, even after the immobilized enzyme was reused seven times. This method can produce DEH efficiently and at a low cost and can be used to mass produce the next generation of biofuels using brown algae.
Synthesis and Hydrogenation of (E)-γ-Aryl-γ-morpholino-α-trifluoromethylated Allyl Alcohols Through the Reaction of Trifluoroacetaldehyde EthylHemiacetal with Enamines. -Coupling of the hemiacetals (II) and (XI) with enamines leads to (E)-allylic alcohols like (III). Subsequent hydrogenation provides a new approach to fluorinated alcohols and/or amino alcohols. -(FUNABIKI*, K.; MURASE, Y.; FURUNO, Y.; KUBOTA, Y.; EBIHARA, M.; MATSUI, M.; Tetrahedron 66 (2010) 18, 3283-3289,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
