a Construction of E. coli cells expressing lactonase, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH2), aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and NADH oxidase (NOX). See Supplementary Fig. 3 for SDS-PAGE of whole-cell proteins of Module 3 expressed in E. coli. RSF: pRSFDuet-1; pBR322: pETDuet-1; arrow: T7 promoter. Pink filled rectangle: ADH2 gene; green filled rectangle: ALDH; blue filled rectangle: lactonase gene; purple filled rectangle: NOX gene. b Engineered E. coli cells containing enzyme module 3 (lactonase, ADH2 and ALDH, and NOX if necessary) for biotransformation of CL 4b to AA 7b. Blue column: AA. c Time course of E. coli (M3B_M3E)-catalyzed transformation of CL 4b to AA 7b at substrate concentration 100 mM. Blue line: AA; orange line: 6-HHA; green line: CL. d Time course of E. coli (M3B_M3E)-catalyzed transformation of CL 4b to AA 7b, with substrate added in three portions (200 mM in the beginning, and 200 mM and 100 mM indicated by arrows) for a total concentration of 500 mM with pH maintained by adjustment. Blue line: AA; orange line: 6-HHA; green line: CL. The data shown in b, c, and d are presented as mean value ± SD (standard deviations) of three biological replicates.
