Abstract
Two-liquid phase reaction media have long been used in bioconversions to supply or remove hydrophobic organic reaction substrates and products to reduce inhibitory and toxic effects on biocatalysts. In case of the terminal oxyfunctionalisation of linear alkanes by the AlkBGT monooxygenase the excess alkane substrate is often used as a second phase to extract the alcohol, aldehyde and acid products. However, the selection of other carrier phases or surfactants is complex due to the large amount of parameters that are involved, such as: biocompatibility, substrate bioavailability and product extraction selectivity. This study combines systematic high-throughput screening with chemometrics to correlate physicochemical parameters of a range of co-solvents to product specificity and yield using a multivariate regression model. Partial least square regression showed that the defining factor for product specificity are the solubility properties of reaction substrate and product in the co-solvent, as measured by Hansen solubility parameters. Thus the polarity of co-solvents determines the accumulation of either alcohol or acid products. Whereas usually the acid product accumulates during the reaction, by choosing a more polar co-solvent the 1-alcohol product can be accumulated. Especially with Tergitol as co-solvent, a 3.2 fold improvement in 1-octanol yield to 18.3 mmol l-1 was achieved relative to the control reaction without co-solvents.
