It has been established that activity of trehalosephosphate synthase (key enzyme of trehalosemycolates synthesis) under cultivation of Rhodococcus erythropolis EK-1 on the medium with n-hexadecane was 10 times higher, and amount of synthesized surface-active substances 4 times higher as compared to the growing of EK-1 strain on ethanol. Introduction of 0.2% of fumarate and 0.1% of citrate to the cultivation medium of R. erythropolis EK-1 with 2% of n-hexadecane, as well as 0.2% of fumarate to the medium with 2% of ethanol was accompanied by intensification of synthesis of surface-active trehalosemycolates, that is evidenced by the 1.3-1.6-fold increase of the amount of synthesized surface-active substances under such conditions, and by 3-5-fold increase of activity of phosphoenolpyruvate synthetase (key enzyme ofgluconeogenesis) and trehalosephosphate synthase. The paper is presented in Ukrainian.

Reductive amination is one of the most synthetically direct routes to access chiral amines. Several Imine Reductases (IREDs) have been discovered to catalyze reductive amination (Reductive Aminases or RedAms), yet they are dependent on the expensive phosphorylated nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide cofactor NADPH and usually more active at basic pH. Here, we describe the discovery and synthetic potential of an IRED from (RedAm) that catalyzes reductive amination between a series of medium to large carbonyl and amine compounds with conversions of up to >99% and 99% enantiomeric excess at neutral pH.

Phenol and its chlorinated derivatives are introduced into the environment with wastewater effluents from various industries, becoming toxic pollutants. Phenol-degrading bacteria are important objects of research; among them, representatives of the genus are often highlighted as promising. Strain 7Ba was isolated by enrichment culture.

Polyethylene (PE) is the most-produced polyolefin, and consequently, it is the most widely found plastic waste worldwide. PE biodegradation is under study by applying different (micro)organisms in order to understand the biodegradative mechanism in the majority of microbes. This study aims to identify novel bacterial species with compelling metabolic potential and strategic genetic repertoires for PE biodegradation.

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is the most commonly used bacterial recombinant protein production system due to its easy genetic modification properties. In our previous study, a recombinant plasmid expressing the Fe-type nitrile hydratase derived from Rhodococcus erythropolis CCM2595 (ReNHase) was successfully constructed and the recombinant ReNHase exerted an excellent catalytic effect on dinitrile compounds.
