Abstract excerpt
In our previous study, one-step pyruvate and D-alanine production from D,L-alanine by a whole-cell biocatalyst Escherichia coli expressing L-amino acid deaminase (Pm1) derived from Proteus mirabilis was investigated. However, due to the low catalytic efficiency of Pm1, the pyruvate titer was relatively low. Here, semi-rational design based on site-directed saturation mutagenesis was carried out to improve the...
