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

background1,5-Diamino-2-hydroxy-pentane (2-OH-PDA), as a new type of aliphatic amino alcohol, has potential applications in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and materials industries. Currently, 2-OH-PDA production has only been realized via pure enzyme catalysis from lysine hydroxylation and decarboxylation, which faces great challenges for scale-up production. However, the use of a cell factory is very promising for the production of 2-OH-PDA for industrial applications, but the substrate transport rate, appropriate catalytic environment (pH, temperature, ions) and separation method restrict its efficient synthesis. Here, a strategy was developed to produce 2-OH-PDA via an efficient, green and sustainable biosynthetic method on an industrial scale.

resultsIn this study, an approach was created for efficient 2-OH-PDA production from L-lysine using engineered E. coli BL21 (DE3) cell catalysis by a two-stage hydroxylation and decarboxylation process. In the hydroxylation stage, strain B14 coexpressing L-lysine 3-hydroxylase K3H and the lysine transporter CadB-argT enhanced the biosynthesis of (2S,3S)-3-hydroxylysine (hydroxylysine) compared with strain B1 overexpressing K3H. The titre of hydroxylysine synthesized by B14 was 2.1 times higher than that synthesized by B1. Then, in the decarboxylation stage, CadA showed the highest hydroxylysine activity among the four decarboxylases investigated. Based on the results from three feeding strategies, L-lysine was employed to produce 110.5 g/L hydroxylysine, which was subsequently decarboxylated to generate a 2-OH-PDA titre of 80.5 g/L with 62.6% molar yield in a 5-L fermenter. In addition, 2-OH-PDA with 95.6% purity was obtained by solid-phase extraction. Thus, the proposed two-stage whole-cell biocatalysis approach is a green and effective method for producing 2-OH-PDA on an industrial scale.

conclusionsThe whole-cell catalytic system showed a sufficiently high capability to convert lysine into 2-OH-PDA. Furthermore, the high titre of 2-OH-PDA is conducive to separation and possesses the prospect of industrial scale production by whole-cell catalysis.
