Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) is a key enzyme for the production of ethanol at high temperatures and for cell-free butanol synthesis. Thermostable, organic solvent stable PDC was evolved from bacterial PDCs. The new variant shows >1500-fold-improved half-life at 75 °C and >5000-fold-increased half-life in the presence of 9 vol% butanol at 50 °C.
丙酮酸脱羧酶(PDC)是高温下乙醇生产和无细胞丁醇合成的关键酶。耐热、有机溶剂稳定的PDC是由细菌PDC进化而来的。新变体在75°C下的半衰期提高了1500倍以上,在50°C下9%(体积)丁醇存在时半衰期增加了5000倍以上。
