Abstract Background Biosynthesis of l-tert-leucine (l-tle), a significant pharmaceutical intermediate, by a cofactor regeneration system friendly and efficiently is a worthful goal all the time. The cofactor regeneration system of leucine dehydrogenase (LeuDH) and glucose dehydrogenase (GDH) has showed great coupling catalytic efficiency in the synthesis of l-tle, however the multi-enzyme complex of GDH and LeuDH has never been constructed successfully. Results In this work, a novel fusion enzyme (GDH–R3–LeuDH) for the efficient biosynthesis of l-tle was constructed by the fusion of LeuDH and GDH mediated with a rigid peptide linker. Compared with the free enzymes, both the environmental tolerance and thermal stability of GDH–R3–LeuDH had a great improved since the fusion structure. The fusion structure also accelerated the cofactor regeneration rate and maintained the enzyme activity, so the productivity and yield of l-tle by GDH–R3–LeuDH was all enhanced by twofold. Finally, the space–time yield of l-tle catalyzing by GDH–R3–LeuDH whole cells could achieve 2136 g/L/day in a 200 mL scale system under the optimal catalysis conditions (pH 9.0, 30 °C, 0.4 mM of NAD+ and 500 mM of a substrate including trimethylpyruvic acid and glucose). Conclusions It is the first report about the fusion of GDH and LeuDH as the multi-enzyme complex to synthesize l-tle and reach the highest space–time yield up to now. These results demonstrated the great potential of the GDH–R3–LeuDH fusion enzyme for the efficient biosynthesis of l-tle.

Bioreduction of several prochiral carbonylic compounds such as acetophenone (1), ethyl acetoacetate (2) and ethyl phenylpropionate (3) to the corresponding optically active secalcohols 1a - 3a was performed using wild-type strains of Pichia pastoris UBB 1500, Rhodotorula sp., and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The reductions showed moderate to excellent conversion and high enantiomeric excess, in an extremely mild and environmentally benign manner in aqueous medium, using glucose as cofactor regeneration system. The obtained alcohols follow Prelog’s rule, but in the reduction of 1 with P. pastoris UBB 1500 the anti- Prelog enantiopreference was observed
