The applicability of dissolved redox mediators for NAD(P)(+) regeneration has been demonstrated several times. Nevertheless, the use of mediators in solutions for sensor applications is not a very convenient strategy since the analysis is not reagentless and long stabilization times occur. The most important drawbacks of dissolved mediators in biocatalytic applications are interferences during product purification, limited reusability of the mediators, and their cost-intensive elimination from wastewater. Therefore, the use of immobilized mediators has both economic and ecological advantages. This work critically reviews the current state-of-art of immobilized redox mediators for electrochemical NAD(P)(+) regeneration. Various surface modification techniques, such as adsorption polymerization and covalent linkage, as well as the corresponding NAD(P)(+) regeneration rates and the operational stability of the immobilized mediator films, will be discussed. By comparison with other existing regeneration systems, the technical potential and future perspectives of biocatalytic redox reactions based on electrochemically fed immobilized mediators will be assessed.

Unlabelled: 6-Phosphogluconate dehydrogenases (6PGDHs) are widely existing as reduced cofactor (NADH/NADPH) regeneration biocatalysts. Herein, a thermostable 6PGDH from (Ht6PGDH) was overexpressed in and enzymologically characterized. Ht6PGDH exhibited exceptional stability and catalytic activity under high-temperature conditions, with an optimum temperature of 85 °C and the ability to maintain high activity for prolonged periods at 70 °C, which could be purified through a one-step heat treatment.

Phenylethylisoquinoline alkaloids (PIAs) are medicinally important natural products derived from the 1-phenylethylisoquinoline precursor. Heterologous production of the PIAs remains challenging due to the incomplete elucidation of biosynthetic pathway and the lack of proper microbial cell factory designed for precursor enhancement. In this work, an artificial pathway composed of eight enzymes from different species was established for de novo 1-phenylethylisoquinoline biosynthesis in engineered .

The catalytic conversion of chiral alcohols and corresponding carbonyl compounds by carbonyl reductases (alcohol dehydrogenases), which are NAD(P) or NAD(P)H-dependent oxidoreductases, has attracted considerable attention. However, existing carbonyl reductases are insufficient to meet the demands of diverse industrial applications; hence, new enzymes with functions that can expand the toolbox of biocatalysts are urgently required. Developing precisely controlled chiral biocatalysts is of great significance for the efficient development of a broad spectrum of active pharmaceutical ingredients via biosynthesis.

Biological systems can directly upgrade carbon dioxide (CO) into chemicals. The CO fixation rate of autotrophic organisms, however, is too slow for industrial utility, and the breadth of engineered metabolic pathways for the synthesis of value-added chemicals is too limited. Biotechnology workhorse organisms with extensively engineered metabolic pathways have recently been engineered for CO fixation.

The raphidophyte Chattonella marina complex (hereafter Chattonella) consists of noxious red-tide-forming algae that are damaging to fish farms. Chattonella produces and secretes large amounts of the superoxide anion (•O), and the production of extracellular •O has been associated with fish mortality. We reported previously that photosynthetic electron transport is correlated with the production of •O in the genus Chattonella.
