Lignin is a critical biopolymer for creating a large number of highly valuable biobased compounds. Vanillin, one of lignin-derived aromatics, can be used to synthesize vanillylamine that is a key fine chemical and pharmaceutical intermediate. To produce vanillylamine, a productive whole-cell-catalyzed biotransformation of vanillin was developed in deep eutectic solvent - surfactant - HO media. One newly created recombinant E. coli 30CA cells expressing ω-transaminase and L-alanine dehydrogenase was employed to transform 50 mM and 60 mM vanillin into vanillylamine in the yield of 82.2% and 8.5% under 40 °C, respectively. The biotransamination efficiency was enhanced by introducing surfactant PEG-2000 (40 mM) and deep eutectic solvent ChCl:LA (5.0 wt%, pH 8.0), and the highest vanillylamine yield reached 90.0% from 60 mM vanillin. Building an effective bioprocess was utilized for transamination of lignin-derived vanillin to vanillylamine with newly created bacteria in an eco-friendly medium, which had potential application for valorization of lignin to value-added compounds.

Lignin valorization through bioconversion to high-value chemicals is crucial for sustainable bioprocessing. Vanillin (VN), a primary lignin derivative, can be transaminated into vanillylamine (VM), a key precursor for capsaicin and pharmaceuticals. This study established a novel self-sufficient redox-complementary whole-cell system, facilitating the recycling of L-alanine and cofactors for efficient VM biosynthesis.

Lignin is a plentiful and readily accessible renewable resource. Vanillylamine is a crucial raw material used to synthesize pharmaceuticals and high-value furan compounds that can be acquired by aminating lignin-derived vanillin (Van). However, effectually achieving the biocatalytic synthesis of vanillylamine has remained challenging.

The biosynthesis pathway of capsaicinoids includes the conversion of vanillin to vanillylamine, where putative aminotransferase (pAMT) is thought to be the enzyme responsible in plants. The objectives of this study were to prove that pAMT is the enzyme responsible for this conversion in plants and to clarify its catalytic properties using biochemical methods. Both an extract of habanero placenta and recombinant pAMT (rpAMT) constructed by using an expression system were able to convert vanillin to vanillylamine in the presence of γ-aminobutyric acid as an amino donor and pyridoxal phosphate as a coenzyme.
