“…10,11) In order to overcome these shortcomings, we have investigated theanine production from glutamic acid and ethylamine using the theanine synthetase-like enzyme, in which sugar fermentation of dried baker's yeast cells was coupled as an ATP-regenerating system (coupled fermentation with energy transfer). [12][13][14][15] In earlier reports, [12][13][14] we indicated the principle of coupled fermentation with energy transfer using the glutamine synthetase (GS; L-glutamate:ammonia ligase, ADP-forming, E.C. 6.3.1.2, Fig.…”

Me.thy.lo.vo'rus. N.L. neut. n. methylum the methyl group; N.L. masc. adj. vorus consuming; N.L. masc.n. Methylovorus the methyl consumer. Proteobacteria / Betaproteobacteria / Methylophilales / Methylophilaceae / Methylovorus The genus Methylovorus accommodates obligate and restricted facultative methylotrophs. Cells of these methylotrophic bacteria are Gram‐stain negative, aerobic, and motile rods with single polar flagellum, which multiply by binary fission and occur singly without aggregation. Cells do not possess endospores, intracellular membranes, or poly‐β‐hydroxybutyrate granules and prosthecae. Cells of some strains produce slime. Members of this genus are able to utilize methanol via the ribulose monophosphate (RuMP) pathway of C 1 assimilation. These bacteria possess an incomplete tricarboxylic acid cycle because they lack α‐ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. Enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle (malate synthase and isocitrate lyase) are absent. Some strains can grow on methylamine and poorly on glucose or fructose. No growth occurs on rich media with peptone and under CH 4 + O 2 or H 2 + CO 2 + O 2 in the gas phase. These methylotrophic bacteria are mesophilic, neutrophilic, and nonhalophilic. Vitamins or other growth factors are not required for growth. Nitrogen sources are ammonium salts, nitrates, and some amino acids. Indole is produced from l ‐tryptophan on mineral medium with methanol and KNO 3 . The major fatty acids are C 16:0 and C 16:1 ω7 c . Known habitats are wastewater, soil, or phyllosphere and rhizosphere of various plants. DNA G + C content (mol%) : 54.0–55.4 ( T m and genome sequence). Type species : Methylovorus glucosotrophus Govorukhina and Trotsenko 1991 VP .

Glutamylation yields N‐functionalized amino acids in several natural pathways. γ‐Glutamylated amino acids may exhibit improved properties for their industrial application, e. g., as taste enhancers or in peptide drugs. γ‐Glutamyl−isopropylamide (GIPA) can be synthesized from isopropylamine (IPA) and l‐glutamate. In Pseudomonas sp. strain KIE171, GIPA is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of l‐alaninol (2‐amino‐1‐propanol), a precursor of the fluorochinolone antibiotic levofloxacin and of the chloroacetanilide herbicide metolachlor. In this study, fermentative production of GIPA with metabolically engineered Pseudomonas putida KT2440 using γ‐glutamylmethylamide synthetase (GMAS) from Methylorubrum extorquens was established. Upon addition of IPA during growth with glycerol as carbon source in shake flasks, the recombinant strain produced up to 21.8 mM GIPA. In fed‐batch bioreactor cultivations, GIPA accumulated to a titer of 11 g L−1 with a product yield of 0.11 g g−1 glycerol and a volumetric productivity of 0.24 g L−1 h−1. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fermentative production of GIPA.
