additional information | development and evaluation of an improved method for high yield production and purification of phycoerythrobilin (PEB) in Escherichia coli via heterologous expression where the two required enzymes heme oxygenase and PEB synthase subsequently convert the substrate heme provided by the host cell. Experiments in shaking flasks result in the highest product yield of 0.680 mg PEB per g cell dry weight, by induction with 0.1 mM IPTG. Scale-up to batch-operated fermentation in a 2 L bioreactor reached product concentrations up to 5.02 mg PEB/l by adjustment of aeration, induction time, media composition and supplementation of precursors, separation of PEB from developed foam above the culture, detailed overview | Prochlorococcus phage P-SSM2 |

metabolism | phycoerythrobilin (PEB) is an open-chain tetrapyrrole that is derived from heme. The biosynthesis of PEB is, outgoing from heme, mediated by two classes of enzymes: heme oxygenases (HOs) and ferredoxin-dependent bilin reductases (FDBRs). In the first step, HOs (EC: 1.14.99.3) catalyze the ring-opening reaction of the cyclic tetrapyrrole heme at the alpha-mesocarbon bridge, yielding the open-chain tetrapyrrole biliverdin IXalpha (BV), CO and free iron. The sequential reductive cleavage of heme to BV consumes three molecules of O2 and seven electrons. HOs are involved in iron acquisition, oxidative-stress response and pigment biosynthesis. In plants and prokaryotes reduced ferredoxin and ascorbate are able to provide the electrons for the reaction. In the second step, BV is further reduced to PEB by a class of enzymes called ferredoxin-dependent bilin reductases (FDBRs) | Prochlorococcus phage P-SSM2 |
