Abstract
-
In this study, the monoterpenes, α-pinene and geraniol, were
biotransformed to synthesize monoterpene alcohol compounds.
Polyporus brumalis which is classified as a white rot
fungus was used as a biocatalyst. Consequently α-terpineol
was synthesized from α-pinene by P. brumalis mycelium,
after three days. Moreover, another substrate, the acyclic
monoterpenoids geraniol was transformed into the cyclic
compound, p-menthane-3, 8-diol (PMD). The main metabolites,
i.e., α-terpineol and PMD, are known to be bioactive
monoterpene alcohol compounds. This study highlights the
potential of fungal biocatalysts for monoterpene transformation.

Abstract
-
The focus of this study was the cloning, expression, and characterization of recombinant ginsenoside hydrolyzing β-glucosidase from Arthrobacter chlorophenolicus with an ultimate objective to more efficiently bio-transform ginse-nosides. The gene bglAch, consisting of 1,260 bp (419 amino acid residues) was cloned and the recombinant enzyme, over-expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), was characterized. The GST-fused BglAch was purified using GST·Bind agarose resin and characterized. Under optimal conditions (pH 6.0 and 37°C) BglAch hydrolyzed the outer glucose and arabino-pyranose moieties of ginsenosides Rb1 and Rb2 at the C20 position of the aglycone into ginsenoside Rd. This was fol-lowed by hydrolysis into F2 of the outer glucose moiety of ginsenoside Rd at the C3 position of the aglycone. Additio-nally, BglAch more slowly transformed Rc to F2 via C-Mc1 (compared to hydrolysis of Rb1 or Rb2). These results in-dicate that the recombinant BglAch could be useful for the production of ginsenoside F2 for use in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Abstract
-
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to explore the relationship between the biotransformation of dibenzo-p-dioxin and selected chlorinated derivatives by resting cells of Sphingomonas wittichii RW1 and measuring the thermodynamic properties of the biotransformation substrates. Sphingomonas wittichii RW1 can aerobically catabolize dibenzo-p-dioxin as well as 2,7-dichloro-, 1,2,3-trichloro-, 1,2,3,4-tetrachloro-, and 1,2,3,4,7,8-hexachlorodibenzo-pdioxin; however, neither the 2,3,7-trichloro- nor the 1,2,3,7,8-pentachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin was transformed to its corresponding metabolic intermediate. The experimental biotransformation rates established were apparently governed by the selected thermodynamic properties of the substrates tested.

Abstract
-
It has recently been reported that one of the most important factors of yeast resistance to the fungicide chlorothalonil is the glutathione contents and the catalytic efficiency of glutathione S-transferase (GST) (Shin et al., 2003). GST is known to catalyze the conjugation of glutathione to a wide variety of xenobiotics, resulting in detoxification. In an attempt to elucidate the relation between chlorothalonil detoxification and GST, the GST of Escherichia coli was expressed and purified. The drug hypersensitive E. coli KAM3 cells harboring a plasmid for the overexpression of the GST gene can grow in the presence of chlorothalonil. The purified GST showed chlorothalonil-biotransformation activity in the presence of glutathione. Thus, chlorothalonil is detoxified by the mechanism of glutathione conjugation catalyzed by GST.

Abstract
-
A 4.8-kb DNA fragment encoding the P-450 type hydroxylase and ferredoxin genes was cloned from Pseudonocardia autotrophica IFO 12743 that can convert vitamin D_3 into its hydroxylated active forms. In order to isolate the P-450 gene cluster in this organism, we designed PCR primers on the basis of the regions of an oxygen binding site and a heme ligand pocket that are general characteristics of the P-450 hydroxylase. Sequencing analysis of the BamHI fragment revealed the presence of four complete and one incomplete ORFs, named PauA, PauB, PauC, and PauD, respectively. As a result of computer-based analyses, PauA and PauB have homology with enoyl-CoA hydratase from several organisms and the positive regulators belonging to the tetR family, respectively. PauC and PauD show similarity with SuaB/C proteins and ferredoxins, respectively, which are composed of P-450 monooxygenase systems for metabolizing two sulfonylurea herbicides in Streptomyces griseolus PauC shows the highest similarity with another CytP-450_Sca2 protein that is responsible for production of a specific HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, pravastatin, in S. carbophilus. Cultures of Streptomyces lividans transformant, containing the P-450 gene cluster on the pWHM3 plasmid, was unable to convert vitamin D_3 to its hydroxylated forms.
