Abstract: Methods of β-lactone production, including the integrated bioconversion of β-lactone production and methods related thereto. Methods include reacting a feedstock and a recombinant microorganism harboring one or more genes encoding enzymes involved in the metabolic pathway of a 3-hydroxycarboxylic acid, thereby producing a 3-hydroxycarboxylic acid having C1-C10 alkyl groups. Thereafter, reacting the 3-hydroxycarboxilic acid with a bioengineered natural β-lactone synthetase, the bioengineered β-lactone synthetase engineered to comprise a substrate binding pocket capable of accepting the 3-hydroxycarboxylic acid having C1-C10 alkyl groups, thereby producing a β-lactone having C1-C10 alkyl groups.

Abstract: Hydroxycarboxylic acids may be biosynthesized from a carbonaceous feedstock and then isolated through forming and subsequently hydrolyzing an intermediate sophorolipid. After biosynthesizing a hydroxycarboxylic acid in a cell culture medium or otherwise providing a hydroxycarboxylic acid in a first aqueous medium, the hydroxycarboxylic acid and glucose may be converted into at least one sophorolipid by a suitable microorganism or an enzyme cocktail. The at least one sophorolipid may be then be separated from the cell culture medium or first aqueous medium and then hydrolyzed in a second aqueous medium to form the hydroxycarboxylic acid and glucose as free components separate from the cell culture medium or first aqueous medium. The hydroxycarboxylic acid is present as a phase separate from the second aqueous medium and the glucose remains in the second aqueous medium.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a porous liquid or a porous liquid enzyme that includes a high surface area solid and a liquid film substantially covering the high surface area solid. The porous liquid or porous liquid enzyme may be contacted with a fluid that is immiscible with the liquid film such that a liquid-fluid interface is formed. The liquid film may facilitate mass transfer of a substance or substrate across the liquid-fluid interface. The present disclosure also provides methods of performing liquid-based extractions and enzymatic reactions utilizing the porous liquid or porous liquid enzyme of the present disclosure.
