A novel strategy to regulate cofactor balance in vivo for whole-cell biotransformation using a synthetic flavin analogue is reported. High efficiency, easy operation, and good applicability were observed for this system. Confocal laser scanning microscopy was employed to verify that the synthetic flavin analogue can directly permeate into Escherichia coli cells without modifying the cell membrane. This work provides a promising intracellular redox regulatory approach to construct more efficient cell factories.

The efficient immobilization of redox mediators remains a major challenge in the design of mediated enzyme electrode platforms. In addition to stability, the ability of the redox-active material to mediate electron transfer from the active-site buried enzymes, such as flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase (FADGDH) and lactate oxidase (LOx), is also crucial. Conventional immobilization techniques can be synthetically challenging, and immobilized mediators often exhibit limited durability, particularly in continuous operation.

Pigments, as coloured secondary metabolites, endow the world with a rich palette of colours. They primarily originate from plants and microorganisms and play crucial roles in their survival and adaptation processes. In this article, we categorize pigments based on their chemical structure into flavonoids, carotenoids, pyrroles, quinones, azaphilones, melanins, betalains, flavins, and others.

Cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) has emerged as an attractive platform for biotechnology and synthetic biology due to its numerous advantages to cell-based technologies for specific applications. CFPS can be faster, less sensitive to metabolite toxicity, and amenable to systems that are not easily genetically manipulated. Due to these advantages, a promising application of CFPS is to characterize biosynthetic gene clusters, particularly those harbored within the genomes of microorganisms that generate secondary metabolites, otherwise known as natural products.
