The article discusses a study which examines the presence of linoleic acid isomerase in Lactobacillus-plantarum. It states that the determination of isomerization reaction was performed using a hydration step, membrane and soluble fractions. Findings of the study reveal that linoleic acid isomerase is a multi-component enzyme system which required oxidoreduction cofactors to perform its activity properly.

The article presents a study which synthesizes 4-hydroxyisoleucine (4-HIL) by aldolase-transaminase coupling reaction and basic characterization of the aldolase purified Arthrobacter simplex AKU 626. It describes the screening of an aldolase-producing bacterium. It is revealed that A. simplex AKU 626 synthesized 4-HIL from acetaldehyde, alpha-ketobutyrate and L-glutamate with Escherichia coli harboring the branched chain amino acid transaminase gene.

The article presents the study investigating the production of (R)-(S)-β-phenylalanine through stereoselective degradation for Variovorax species JH2 and Arthrobacter species. Stereoselective trans-amination was the first step in the (S)-isomer degradation while for the (R)-isomer degradation was oxidative deamination. Results of the resting cell reactions with vigorous shaking was presented.

The article presents a study which investigated 2-deoxyribose 5-phosphate production through coupling of the alcoholic fermentation system of baker's yeast and deoxyriboaldolase-expressing Escherichia coli (E. coli). Baker's yeast generates fructose 1,6-diphosphate from glucose and inorganic phosphate, and the E. coli convert the fructose 1,6-diphosphate into 2-deoxyribose 5-phosphate through D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. The produced 2-deoxyribose 5-phosphate was converted to 2-deoxyribose.

The article presents a study on the bioprocessing of compounds to be used as catalyst for green chemistry in Japan. The procedure were taken in different steps, first, is the screening for biological reactions among versatile and diversity of micro-organisms. This bioprocess development were done to further discover unique metabolic processes, reactions and metabolism of microbe's enzymes.

Reports the involvement of homotropic cooperativity in indole hydroxylation catalyzed by cytochrome P450 BM-3 under alkaline conditions. Stimulant of the activity; Influence of the environment of the binding site on cooperativity; Potential of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases for environmental treatment, drug design and pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis.

Discusses the microbial production of 2-deoxyribose 5-phosphate from acetaldehyde and triosephosphate for the synthesis of 2'-deoxyribonucleosides. Amount of 2-deoxyribose 5-phosphate produced from 200 mM acetaldehyde and 117 mMdihydroxyacetone phosphate; Reactions that transformed the 2-deoxyribose 5-phosphate to 2'-deoxyribonucleoside.

Details a structural analysis of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) produced by Lactobacillus plantarum, as well as factors affecting isomer production using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Data showing that the bacterium produced two CLA isomers from linoleic acid; Addition of L-serine, glucose, silver nitrate or sodium chloride to the reaction mixture reducing production in the latter.
