Abstract

L-Phenyllactic acid is a natural antibacterial substance, which has a spectral inhibitory effect on a variety of pathogenic microorganisms. It is expected to become a new type of biological preservative. A multi-enzyme cascade catalytic reaction system was constructed to improve the ability of L-phenyllactic acid synthesis by Escherichia coli whole cell. A new L-phenyllactic acid biosynthesis method was established by co-expressing L-amino acid deaminase and phenylpyruvate reductase coupled with glucose dehydrogenase for coenzyme regeneration. The genes were successfully expressed in E.coli. The whole cell transformation conditions were optimized. The optimal transformation conditions were reaction at 30 ℃, initial pH 8.0, substrate phenylalanine of 30 g/L, OD600 of 30, and auxiliary substrate glucose of one-time molar equivalent, conversion reaction time of 12 h. A total of 21.39 g/L of L-phenyllactic acid was produced, and the molar conversion rate was 71.33%. A simple and efficient biocatalysis method is provided, which lays the foundation for the realization of large-scale production.
