| Abstract | Gas-liquid mass transfer of gaseous reactants is a major limitation for high space-time yields, especially for O₂-dependent (bio)catalytic reactions in aqueous solutions. Oxygenic photosynthesis was used for homogeneous O₂-supply via in situ generation in the liquid phase to overcome gas-liquid mass transfer limitations. The phototrophic cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 was engineered to synthesize alkane monooxygenase AlkBGT, originating from Pseudomonas putida GPo1. With light, but without external addition of O₂, the chemo- and regioselective hydroxylation of nonanoic acid methyl ester to ω-hydroxynonanoic acid methyl ester was driven by O₂ generated via photosynthetic water oxidation. Photosynthesis also delivered the necessary reduction equivalents regenerating Fe2+ in AlkB for oxygen transfer to the terminal methyl group. The in situ coupling of oxygenic photosynthesis to O₂-transferring enzymes now allows the design of fast hydrocarbon oxyfunctionalization reactions. |
