Biosynthesis of Feruloyl Glycerol from Ferulic Acid and Glycerol Through a Two-Enzyme Cascade Reaction.

Feruloyl glycerol (FG) has a variety of biological activities, but the green synthesis methods of FG remain rare. In this study, FG was prepared by a cascade reaction catalyzed by 4-coumarate coenzyme A ligase (4CL) and hydroxycinnamoyl acyltransferase 4 (HCT4). The cascade reaction carried out at solvent water and room temperature is more convenient and greener. Firstly, the product derived from the cascade reaction was characterized by TLC, HPLC, FTIR, and ESI-MS. The results showed that the product was FG. Secondly, the effects of temperature, pH, enzyme ratio, Mg2+ concentration, and CoA concentration on the cascade reaction were investigated. Consequently, the highest reaction rate was obtained at 30 °C, pH 6, an enzyme ratio of 1:3, and Mg2+ concentration of 5 mM. Finally, semi-preparative scale synthesis for FG was conducted. The production of FG reached 35.1 mM at 24 h with the FG conversion of 70.18%. In a word, a novel idea for the efficient and green synthesis of FG was proposed, which had great potential for industrial application.

Isolation and characterization of feruloylated oligosaccharides from Phyllostachys acuta and in vitro antioxidant activity.

Feruloylated oligosaccharides (FOs) generated by decomposing plant hemicellulose, offer a wide range of potential applications in both the food and biomedical areas. As a graminaceous plant, bamboo is rich in hemicellulose. However, the structural composition and activity studies of FOs from it were rarely reported. In this study, FOs from Phyllostachys acuta (pFOs) obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis were isolated by AmberliteXAD-2 and C18 SPE columns. Then, pFOs were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by UPLC-ESI-MS/MS after labeled by 3-Amino-9-ethyl-carbazole (AEC), and the chemical antioxidant activity of pFOs and effects of pFOs on H2O2-induced oxidative damage were investigated. Finally, 14 of pFOs isomers were distinguished and identified, of which 10 did not contain hexoses and 4 did, and the three most abundant pFO structures were 12 (Iso 7, F1A1X2H2-AEC, 29.04 %), 11 (Iso 6, F1A1X1H2-AEC, 17.96 %), and 4 (Iso 3-1, F1A1X3-AEC, 15.57 %). The results of antioxidant studies showed that pFOs possessed certain reducing power, scavenging DPPH radicals, scavenging superoxide anion radicals, and scavenging hydroxyl radicals. Among them, the ability to clear DPPH radicals was particularly significant. pFOs significantly reduced the viability of RAW264.7 cells after H2O2 induction, whereas pFOs had a significant protective effect (p < 0.001). pFOs increased the viability of T-AOC and SOD enzymes in oxidatively damaged cells, as well as had a significant inhibition effect on ROS elevation (p < 0.001). This study lays the foundation for the structural analysis and antioxidant activity evaluation of bamboo-derived feruloyl oligosaccharides for their application in food and pharmaceutical fields.

Intrarenal pH-Responsive Self-Assembly of Luminescent Gold Nanoparticles for Diagnosis of Early Kidney Injury.

Metabolic acidosis-induced kidney injury (MAKI) is asymptomatic and lack of clinical biomarkers in early stage, but rapidly progresses to severe renal fibrosis and ultimately results in end-stage kidney failure. Therefore, developing rapid and noninvasive strategies direct responsive to renal tubular acidic microenvironment rather than delayed biomarkers are essential for timely renoprotective interventions. Herein, we develop pH-responsive luminescent gold nanoparticles (p-AuNPs) in the second near-infrared emission co-coated with 2,3-dimethylaleic anhydride conjugated ß-mercaptoethylamine and cationic 2-diethylaminoethanethiol hydrochloride, which showed sensitive pH-induced charge reversal and intrarenal self-assembly for highly sensitive and long-time (~24 h) imaging of different stages of MAKI. By integrating advantages of pH-induced intrarenal self-assembly and enhanced interactions between pH-triggered positively charged p-AuNPs and renal tubular cells, the early- and late-stage MAKI could be differentiated rapidly within 10 min post-injection (p.i.) with contrast index (CI) of 3.5 and 4.3, respectively. The corresponding maximum CI could reach 5.1 and 9.2 at 12 h p.i., respectively. Furthermore, p-AuNPs were demonstrated to effectively real-time monitor progressive recovery of kidney injury in MAKI mice after therapy, and also exhibit outstanding capabilities for drug screening. This pH-responsive strategy showed great promise for feedback on kidney dysfunction progression, opening new possibilities for early-stage diagnosis of pH-related diseases.

Highly-Selective fluorescent Fe3O4@PPy aptasensor.

Label-free nucleic acid fluorescent probes are gaining popularity due to their low cost and ease of application. However, the primary challenges associated with label-free fluorescent probes stem from their tendency to interact with other biomolecules, such as RNA, proteins, and enzymes, which results in low specificity. In this work, we have developed a simple detection platform that utilizes Fe3O4@PPy in combination with a label-free nucleic acid probe, 1,1,2,2-tetrakis[4-(2-bromo-ethoxy)phenyl]ethene (TTAPE) or Malachite Green (MG), for highly selective detection of metal ions, acetamiprid, and thrombin. Fe3O4@PPy not only adsorbs aptamers through electrostatic interactions, π-π bonding, and hydrogen bonding, but also quenches the fluorescence of the TTAPE/MG. Upon the addition of target compounds, the aptasensor separates from Fe3O4@PPy through magnetic separation. Moreover, by changing different aptamers, the aptasensor was applied to detect metal ions, acetamiprid, and thrombin, with the turned-on photoluminescence (PL) emission intensity recorded and showing linearity to the concentrations of targets. The robustness of method was demonstrated by applying it to real samples, which included vegetables (for detecting acetamiprid with LODs of 0.02 and 0.04 ng/L), serum samples (for detecting thrombin with LODs of 5.5 and 4.3 nM), and water samples (for detecting Pb2+ with an LOD of 0.17 nM). Therefore, due to its impressive selectivity and sensitivity, the Fe3O4@PPy aptasensor could be utilized as a universal detection platform for various clinical and environmental applications.

Microneedle patch with pure drug tips for delivery of liraglutide: pharmacokinetics in rats and minipigs.

Transdermal delivery of peptide drugs is almost impossible with conventional penetration enhancers because of epidermal barrier function. Microneedle (MN) patches can bypass the epidermal barrier and have been developed for trans- and intradermal delivery of peptide drugs and vaccines. However, dissolving MN patches are limited by low drug loading capacities due to their small size and admixture of drug and water-soluble excipients. Furthermore, few in vivo pharmacokinetic studies, especially in large animals such as pigs, have been performed to assess post-application systemic drug exposure. Here, we developed a dissolving MN patch with pure liraglutide at the needle tips. The MN patch could load up to 2.21 ± 0.14 mg of liraglutide in a patch size of 0.9 cm2, which was nearly two orders of magnitude higher than that obtained with conventional MN patches of the same size. Raman imaging confirmed that liraglutide was localized at the MN tips. The MN had sufficient mechanical strength to penetrate the epidermis and could deliver up to 0.93 ± 0.04 mg of liraglutide into skin with a dosing variability of less than 6.8%. The MN patch delivery enabled faster absorption of liraglutide than that provided by subcutaneous (S.C.) injection, and achieved relative bioavailability of 69.8% and 46.3% compared to S.C. injection in rats and minipigs, respectively. The MN patch also exhibited similar patterns of anti-hyperglycemic effect in diabetic rats and individual variability in pharmacokinetic parameters as S.C. injection. The liraglutide MN application was well tolerated; no skin irritation was observed in minipigs except for mild erythema occurring within 4 h after once daily administration for 7 days at the same site. Our preclinical study suggests that MN patch with pure drug needle tips might offer a safe and effective alternative to S.C. injection for administration of liraglutide.

Noncovalent Interaction Guided Precise Photoluminescence Regulation of Gold Nanoclusters in Both Isolate Species and Aggregate States.

Designing luminophores bright in both isolate species and aggregate states is of great importance in many emerging cutting-edge applications. However, the conventional luminophores either emit in isolate species but quench in aggregate state or emit in aggregate state but darken in isolate species. Here we demonstrate that the precise regulation of noncovalent interactions can realize luminophores bright in both isolate species and aggregate states. It is firstly discovered that the intra-cluster interaction enhances the emission of atomically precise Au25(pMBA)18 (pMBA=4-mercaptobenzoic acid), a nanoscale luminophore, while the inter-cluster interaction quenches the emission. The emission enhancing strategies are then well-designed by both introducing exogenous substances to block inter-cluster interaction and surface manipulation of Au25(pMBA)18 at the molecular level to enhance intra-cluster interaction, opening new possibilities to controllably enhance the luminophore's photoluminescence in both isolate species and aggregate states in different phases including aqueous solution, solid state and organic solvents.

Optimization of Microwave-Assisted Extraction Process of Total Flavonoids from Salicornia bigelovii Torr. and Its Hepatoprotective Effect on Alcoholic Liver Injury Mice.

The objective of this study was to determine the optimal extraction conditions for total flavonoids from S. bigelovii using microwave-assisted extraction and to analyze the protective effect of total flavonoids from S. bigelovii on alcoholic liver injury in mice. The optimization of the process conditions for the microwave-assisted extraction of total flavonoids from S. bigelovii was performed using response surface methodology, and an alcohol-induced acute liver injury model in mice was used to investigate the effects of different doses of total flavonoids (100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg, and 400 mg/kg) on the levels and activities of serum alanine aminotransferase kits (ALT), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase kits (AST), superoxide dismutase kits (SOD), glutathione peroxidase kits (GSH-Px), and malondialdehyde (MDA). We performed hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining analysis on pathological sections of mouse liver tissue, and qRT-PCR technology was used to detect the expression levels of the inflammatory factors IL-1 ß, IL-6, and TNF-α. The results revealed that the optimal extraction process conditions for total flavonoids in S. bigelovii were a material-to-liquid ratio of 1:30 (g/mL), an ethanol concentration of 60%, an extraction temperature of 50 °C, an ultrasound power of 250 W, and a yield of 5.71 ± 0.28 mg/g. Previous studies have demonstrated that the flavonoids of S. bigelovii can significantly inhibit the levels of ALT and AST in the serum (p < 0.001), reduce MDA levels (p < 0.001), increase the activity of the antioxidant enzymes SOD and GSH-Px (p < 0.001), and inhibit the IL-1 ß, IL-6, and TNF-α gene expression levels (p < 0.001) of inflammatory factors. The total flavonoids of S. bigelovii exert a protective effect against alcoholic liver injury by reducing the levels of inflammation, oxidative stress, and lipid peroxidation caused by alcohol. The results of this study lay the foundation for the high-value utilization of S. bigelovii and provide new resources for the development of liver-protective drugs.

Transcytosis-Based Renal Tubular Reabsorption of Luminescent Gold Nanoparticles for Enhanced Tumor Imaging.

Transcytosis-based tubular reabsorption of endogenous proteins is a well-known energy-saving pathway that prevents nutrient loss. However, utilization of this well-known reabsorption pathway for the delivery of exogenous nanodrugs remains a challenge. In this study, using the surface mimic strategy of a specific PEPT1/2-targeted Gly-Sar peptide as a ligand, renal-clearable luminescent gold nanoparticles (P-AuNPs) were developed as protein mimics to investigate the transcytosis-based tubular reabsorption of exogenous substances. By regulating the influential factors (H+ content in tubular lumens and PEPT1/2 transporter counts in tubular cells) of Gly-Sar-mediated transcytosis, the specific and efficient interaction between P-AuNPs and renal tubular cells was demonstrated both in vitro and in vivo. Efficient transcellular transportation significantly guided the reabsorption of P-AuNPs back into the bloodstream, which enhanced the blood concentration and bioavailability of nanoparticles, contributing to high-contrast tumor imaging.

Luminescent Gold Nanoparticles with Discrete DNA Valences for Precisely Controlled Transport at the Subcellular Level.

Ultrasmall luminescent gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with excellent capabilities to cross biological barriers offer great promise in designing intelligent model nanomedicines for investigating structure-property relationships at the subcellular level. However, the strict surface controllability of ultrasmall AuNPs is challenging because of their small size. Herein, we report a facile in situ method for precisely controlling DNA aptamer valences on the surface of luminescent AuNPs with emission in the second near-infrared window using a phosphorothioate-modified DNA aptamer, AS1411, as a template. The discrete DNA aptamer number of AS1411-functionalized AuNPs (AS1411-AuNPs, ≈1.8 nm) with emission at 1030 nm was controlled in one aptamer (V1), two aptamers (V2), and four aptamers (V4). It was then discovered that not only the tumor-targeting efficiencies but also the subcellular transport of AS1411-AuNPs were precisely dependent on valences. A slight increase in valence from V1 to V2 increased tumor-targeting efficiencies and resulted in higher nucleus accumulation, whereas a further increase in valence (e.g., V4) significantly increased tumor-targeting efficiencies and led to higher cytomembrane accumulation. These results provide a basis for the strict surface control of nanomedicines in the precise regulation of in vivo transport at the subcellular level and their translation into clinical practice in the future.

In Vivo Aggregation of Clearable Bimetallic Nanoparticles with Interlocked Surface Motifs for Cancer Therapeutics Amplification.

Although renal-clearable luminescent metal nanoparticles (NPs) have been widely developed, their application to efficient cancer therapy is still limited due to low reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Here, a novel system of clearable mercaptosuccinic acid (MSA) coated Au-Ag bimetallic NPs is designed to enhance ROS production. The results show that the strong COO-Ag coordination bonds between the carboxylic acid groups of MSA and Ag atoms on the Au-Ag bimetallic NPs could construct high-rigidity interlocked surface motifs to restrict the intrananoparticle motions for enhanced ROS generation. Moreover, bimetallic NPs exhibit pH-responsive self-assembly capability under the acidic environment inside lysosomes of cancer cells at both in vitro and in vivo, restricting the internanoparticle motions to further boost ROS production. The well-designed bimetallic NPs show high tumor targeting efficiency, fast elimination from the body through rapid liver biotransformation, and extensive destruction to cancer cells, resulting in good security and prominent therapeutic performance.

Glutathione-Activated Emission of Ultrasmall Gold Nanoparticles in the Second Near-Infrared Window for Imaging of Early Kidney Injury.

Biomarker-activatable luminescent probes with high sensitivity and specificity show great promise in advanced bioimaging applications. However, the lack of stable biomarkers at an early stage is currently a major obstacle for sensitive early disease imaging. Herein, we develop a facile in vivo ligand exchange strategy to achieve renal-clearable activatable luminescent gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which are independent of biomarkers for sensitive and long-time imaging of early kidney injury. Significantly activated emission in the second near-infrared region (∼1026 nm) is realized from the ligand exchange of triphenylphosphine-3,3',3″-trisulfonic acid (TPPTS)-coated AuNPs (∼1.4 nm, TPPTS-AuNPs) with quantitative amounts of glutathione (GSH). The abundant GSH in cells, particularly in liver sinusoids, is then demonstrated successfully to activate the emission of TPPTS-AuNPs with an extremely low background for both cell imaging and in vivo visualization of visceral organs (e.g., liver and kidneys). In addition, the in vivo GSH-exchanged TPPTS-AuNPs show enhanced interactions with acidic renal tubular epithelial cells, resulting in sensitive (contrast index, ∼3.9) and long-time (>6.5 h) noninvasive monitoring of acidosis-induced early kidney injury. This facile ligand exchange strategy opens new possibilities for designing activatable luminescent probes independent of biomarkers for earlier disease diagnosis and treatment.

Manganese(II)-Guided Separation in the Sub-Nanometer Regime for Precise Identification of In Vivo Size Dependence.

A precise understanding of nano-bio interactions in the sub-nanometer regime is necessary for advancements in nanomedicine. However, this is currently hindered by the control of the nanoparticle size in the sub-nanometer regime. Herein, we report a facile in situ Mn2+ -guided centrifugation strategy for the synthesis of large-scale ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with a precisely controlled size gradient at the sub-nanometer regime. With the discovery that [Mn(OH)]+ , especially metallic manganese (Mn0 @[Mn(OH)]+ ) nanoparticles, could selectively interact with larger AuNPs through synergistic coordination and hydrogen bonding to form aggregates, we also realized the fast (<1 h) synthesis of water-soluble atomically precise Au25 with high yields (>56 %). We further demonstrated that sub-nanometer size differences (approximately 0.5 nm) significantly alter non-specific phagocytosis of AuNPs in the reticuloendothelial system macrophages, elimination rate, and nanotoxicology.

Effects of rice bran feruloyl oligosaccharides on gel properties and microstructure of grass carp surimi.

Effects of feruloyl oligosaccharides (FOs) from rice bran on the gel properties, microstructure, and sensory properties of grass crap surimi gel were investigated. The results showed that FOs decreased the whiteness of surimi gel, and improved the water-holding capacity and breaking force of surimi gel. According to the texture analysis, the hardness and chewiness of surimi gel significantly increased by adding 0.3% FOs, but had no significant effect on the springiness and cohesiveness. The changes in AFM images indicated that FOs made myofibrillar protein aggregated and uniformly distributed. The SEM micrograph revealed that the 0.3% FOs group had the most compact and ordered network structure. Additionally, sensory characteristics suggested that FOs reduced off-odor from freshwater fish and remained fish delicious taste. This study provides a new prospect for the potential commercial application of FOs as a health gel enhancer in surimi products.

Redox cascade reaction for kinetic resolution of racemic α-methylbenzylamine and biosynthesis of α-phenylethanol.

Chiral α-methylbenzylamine and α-phenylethanol are important building blocks for the industrial production of optically active drugs, bioactive compounds. Methods for the simultaneous synthesis of chiral α-methylbenzylamine and α-phenylethanol remain rare. Herein, a biocatalytic redox cascade reaction composed of ω-transaminase, aldo-keto reductase, and glutamate dehydrogenase for chiral α-methylbenzylamine and α-phenylethanol synthesis from racemic α-methylbenzylamine was constructed. A novel ω-transaminase and two different chiral aldo-keto reductases were demonstrated in the cascade reaction. The cosubstrate and redox equivalents were regenerated simultaneously by glutamate dehydrogenase. Using the approach, (R)-α-phenylethanol, (S)-α-phenylethanol, and (R)-α-methylbenzylamine were prepared with excellent stereoselectivity (ee > 99.7%). Furthermore, semi-preparative-scale biotransformation of racemic α-methylbenzylamine was conducted. The production of (R)-α-phenylethanol reached 26.05 mM at 24 h, and the production of (S)-α-phenylethanol reached 25.44 mM at 32 h. Taken together, a novel idea was proposed for the efficient and green synthesis of chiral α-methylbenzylamine and α-phenylethanol, which had great potential for industrial application. KEY POINTS: • Excellent stereoselectivity chiral α-methylbenzylamine and α-phenylethanol were synthesized. • A novel ω-transaminase demonstrated the catalysis toward (S)-α-methylbenzylamine. • Two novel aldo-keto reductases demonstrated the conversion toward acetophenone.

Rapid Biotransformation of Luminescent Bimetallic Nanoparticles in Hepatic Sinusoids.

Liver sequestration, mainly resulting from the phagocytosis of mononuclear phagocyte system (MPS) cells, is a long-standing barrier in nanoparticle delivery, which severely decreases the disease-targeting ability, leads to nanotoxicity, and inhibits clinical translation. To avoid long-term liver sequestration, we elaborately designed luminescent gold-silver bimetallic nanoparticles that could be rapidly transformed by the hepatic sinusoidal microenvironment rich in glutathione and oxygen, significantly different from monometallic gold nanoparticles that were rapidly sequestrated by Kupffer cells due to the much slower biotransformation. We found that the rapid sinusoidal biotransformation induced by the synergistic reactions of glutathione and oxygen with the reactive silver atoms could help bimetallic nanoparticles to avoid MPS phagocytosis, promote fast release from the liver, prolong blood circulation, enhance renal clearance, and increase disease targeting. With the fast biotransformation in sinusoids, liver sequestration could be turned into a beneficial storage mechanism for nanomedicines to maximize targeting.

Luminescent Gold Nanoparticles with Controllable Hydrophobic Interactions.

The construction of luminescent gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with highly redshifted emission in the second near-infrared window (NIR-II) and good biocompatibility is still challenging. Herein, using an amphiphilic block copolymer (ABC) template with controllable hydrophobic interactions in the diverse forms of unimers and micelles, we report a facile strategy for redshifting the emission and enhancing the biological interactions of luminescent AuNPs. While the uniform clusters of NIR-II AuNPs are formed in situ inside the hydrophobic cores of ABC micelles with strong interparticle hydrophobic interactions and enhanced emission at 1080 nm with a high quantum yield (QY) of 1.6%, the rigid NIR-II AuNPs are generated with strong intraparticle hydrophobic interactions as ABC unimers on the surface, leading to a redshifted emission of 1280 nm with a QY of 0.25% and enhancing the affinities toward injured intestinal mucosa in colitis imaging. These findings open new possibilities for the design of highly redshifted luminescent AuNPs with enhanced biological interactions.

Highly Controllable Nanoassemblies of Luminescent Gold Nanoparticles with Abnormal Disassembly-Induced Emission Enhancement for In Vivo Imaging Applications.

Assembly-induced emission enhancement has been widely observed for luminophors but it causes emission decrease after disassembly. The construction of unique nanoassemblies with disassembly-induced emission enhancement (DIEE) is demanded. Herein, by taking advantages of alterable siloxane bridge crosslinking states, we report a facile strategy to fabricate water-soluble nanoassemblies of luminescent gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with abnormal DIEE. The fabricated AuNP nanoassemblies with dominant interparticle crosslinking showed a redshifted emission at ≈1070 nm with quantum yields (QYs) of 1.8 %. After disassembly, the nanoassemblies with increased intraparticle crosslinking exhibited a unique DIEE (>6 folds, QYs, 12 %) due to the enhanced ligand-to-metal charge transition. Besides, the disassembly facilitated renal clearance of AuNPs to reduce nonspecific retention in the body, opening new possibilities for designing highly emissive renal-clearable nanostructures toward more bioapplications.

Discovery and therapeutic implications of bioactive dihydroxylated phenolic acids in patients with severe heart disease and conditions associated with inflammation and hypoxia.

Our initial studies detected elevated levels of 3,4-dihydroxyphenyllactic acid (DHPLA) in urine samples of patients with severe heart disease when compared with healthy subjects. Given the reported anti-inflammatory properties of DHPLA and related dihydroxylated phenolic acids (DPAs), we embarked on an exploratory multi-centre investigation in patients with no urinary tract infections to establish the possible pathophysiological significance and therapeutic implications of these findings. Chinese and Caucasian patients being treated for severe heart disease or those conditions associated with inflammation (WBC ≥ 10 ×109/L or hsCRP ≥ 3.0 mg/L) and/or hypoxia (PaO2 ≤ 75 mmHg) were enrolled; their urine samples were analyzed by HPLC, HPLC-MS, GC-MS and biotransformation assays. DHPLA was detected in urine samples of patients, but undetectable in healthy volunteers. Dynamic monitoring of inpatients undergoing treatment showed their DHPLA levels declined in proportion to their clinical improvement. In DHPLA-positive patients' fecal samples, Proteus vulgaris and P. mirabilis were more abundant than healthy volunteers. In culture, these gut bacteria were capable of reversible interconversion between DOPA and DHPLA. Furthermore, porcine and rodent organs were able to metabolize DOPA to DHPLA and related phenolic acids. The elevated levels of DHPLA in these patients suggest bioactive DPAs are generated de novo as part of a human's defense mechanism against disease. Because DHPLA isolated from Radix Salvia miltiorrhizae has a multitude of pharmacological activities, these data underpin the scientific basis of this medicinal plant's ethnopharmacological applications as well as highlighting the therapeutic potential of endogenous, natural or synthetic DPAs and their derivatives in humans.

Efficient whole cell biotransformation of tyrosol from L-tyrosine by engineered Escherichia coli.

An engineered Escherichia coli was constructed by co-expressing L-amino acid deaminase, α-keto acid decarboxylase, alcohol dehydrogenase, and glucose dehydrogenase through two plasmids for tyrosol production. The activity of the rate-limiting enzyme L-amino acid deaminase from Cosenzaea myxofaciens (CmAAD) toward tyrosine was improved by structure-guided modification. The enzyme activity of triple mutant CmAAD V438G/K147V/R151E toward tyrosine was ~5.12-fold higher than that of the wild-type CmAAD. Secondly, the plasmid copy numbers and the gene orders were optimized to improve the titer of tyrosol. Finally, the recombinant strain CS-6 transformed 10 mM tyrosine into 9.56 ± 0.64 mM tyrosol at 45 â„ƒ, and the space-time yield reached 0.478 mM·L-1·h-1. This study proposes a novel idea for the efficient and natural production of tyrosol, which has great potential for industrial application.
