Popis: d-Mandelate dehydrogenase (DMDH) has the potential to convert d-mandelic acid to phenylglyoxylic acid (PGA), which is a key building block in the field of chemical synthesis and is widely used to synthesize pharmaceutical intermediates or food additives. A novel NAD+-dependent d-mandelate dehydrogenase was cloned from Lactobacillus harbinensi (LhDMDH) by genome mining and expressed in Escherichia coli BL21. After being purified to homogeneity, the oxidation activity of LhDMDH toward d-mandelic acid was approximately 1200 U·mg–1, which was close to four times the activity of the probe. Meanwhile, the kcat/Km value of LhDMDH was 28.80 S–1·mM–1, which was distinctly higher than the probe. By coculturing two E. coli strains expressing LhDMDH and LcLDH, we developed a system for the efficient synthesis of PGA, achieving a 60% theoretical yield and 99% purity without adding coenzyme or cosubstrate. Our data supports the implementation of a promising strategy for the chiral resolution of racemic mandelic acid an...
