1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundPhloroglucinol is an important chemical, and the biosynthesis processes which can convert glucose to phloroglucinol have been established. However, due to approximate 80% of the glucose being transformed into undesirable by-products and biomass, this biosynthesis process only shows a low yield with the highest value of about 0.20 g/g. The industrial applications are usually hindered by the low current productivity and yield and also by the high costs. Generally, several different aspects limit the development of phloroglucinol biosynthesis. The yield of phloroglucinol is one of the most important parameters for its bioconversion especially from economic and ecological points of view. The in vitro biosynthesis of bio-based chemicals, is a flexible alternative with potentially high-yield to in vivo biosynthetic technology.

resultsBy comparing the activity of acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACS) from Escherichia coli and Acetobacter pasteurianus, the highly active ACS2 was identified in A. pasteurianus. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus and phloroglucinol synthase (PhlD) from Pseudomonas fluorescens pf-5 were expressed and purified. Acetate was successfully transformed into phloroglucinol by the combined activity of above-mentioned enzymes and required cofactor. After optimization of the in vitro reaction system, phloroglucinol was then produced with a yield of nearly 0.64 g phloroglucinol/g acetic acid, which was equal to 91.43% of the theoretically possible maximum.

conclusionsIn this work, a novel in vitro synthetic system for a highly efficient production of phloroglucinol from acetate was demonstrated. The system's performance suggests that in vitro synthesis of phloroglucinol has some advantages and is potential to become a feasible industrial alternative. Based on the results presented herewith, it is believed that in vitro biosystem will provide a feasible option for production of important industrial chemicals from acetate, which could work as a versatile biosynthetic platform.
