synthesis | efficient approach towards the preparative scale synthesis of hydroxylated steroid derivatives. Improve CYP106A2-catalyzed steroid hydroxylation towards higher productivity and quantitative product formation. Because substrate transport into the cell limits the whole-cell biotransformation, activity can be increased sixfold by using membrane-free crude cell as biocatalyst | Priestia megaterium |

expression of the enzyme together with the electron-transfer partners bovine adrenodoxin and adrenodoxin reductase in Escherichia coli. Additionally an enzyme-coupled cofactor regeneration system was implemented by expressing alcohol dehydrogenase from Lactobacillus brevis. By studying the conversion of progesterone and testosterone, the bottlenecks of these P450-catalyzed hydroxylations are identified. Substrate transport into the cell and substrate solubility turned out to be crucial for the overall performance. Based on these investigations a new concept for CYP106A2-catalyzed steroid hydroxylations is developed by which the productivity of progesterone and testosterone conversion could be increased up to 18fold to yield an absolute productivity up to 5.5 g/L*d | Priestia megaterium |
