Although, butandiol dehydrogenases are known to play a key role in the production of 2,3-butandiol, their potential as biocatalysts is still not well studied. Here, we investigate the biocatalytic properties of the meso-butanediol dehydrogenase from Bacillus licheniformis DSM 13T (BlBDH). The encoding gene was cloned with an N-terminal StrepII-tag and recombinantly overexpressed in E. coli. BlBDH is highly active towards several non-physiological diketones and α-hydroxyketones with varying aliphatic chain lengths or even containing phenyl moieties. By adjusting the reaction parameters in biotransformations the formation of either the α-hydroxyketone intermediate or the diol can be controlled.}, language = {en} } @article{SelmerKahntGoubeaudetal.2000, author = {Selmer, Thorsten and Kahnt, J{\"o}rg and Goubeaud, Marcel and Shima, Seigo}, title = {The biosynthesis of methylated amino acids in the active site region of methyl-coenzyme M reductase / Selmer, Thorsten ; Kahnt, J{\"o}rg ; Goubeaud, Marcel ; Shima, Seigo ; Grabarse, Wolfgang ; Ermler, Ulrich ; Thauer, Rudolf K.}, series = {Journal of Biological Chemistry. 275 (2000), H. 6}, journal = {Journal of Biological Chemistry. 275 (2000), H. 6}, isbn = {1083-351X}, pages = {3775 -- 3760}, year = {2000}, language = {en} } @article{SelmerHallmannSchmidtetal.1996, author = {Selmer, Thorsten and Hallmann, Armin and Schmidt, Bernhard and Sumper, Manfred}, title = {The Evolutionary Conservation of a Novel Protein Modification, the Conversion of Cysteine to Serinesemialdehyde in Arylsulfatase from Volvox carteri / Selmer, Thorsten ; Hallmann, Armin ; Schmidt, Bernhard ; Sumper, Manfred ; Figura, Kurt von}, series = {European Journal of Biochemistry. 238 (1996), H. 2}, journal = {European Journal of Biochemistry. 238 (1996), H. 2}, isbn = {0014-2956}, pages = {341 -- 345}, year = {1996}, language = {en} } @article{DemmerChowdhurySelmeretal.2017, author = {Demmer, Julius K. and Chowdhury, Nilanjan Pal and Selmer, Thorsten and Ermler, Ulrich and Buckel, Wolfgang}, title = {The semiquinone swing in the bifurcating electron transferring flavoprotein/butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase complex from Clostridium difficile}, series = {Nature Communications}, volume = {8}, journal = {Nature Communications}, number = {1}, issn = {2041-1723}, doi = {10.1038/s41467-017-01746-3}, pages = {1 -- 10}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{RoehlenPilasDahmenetal.2018, author = {R{\"o}hlen, Desiree and Pilas, Johanna and Dahmen, Markus and Keusgen, Michael and Selmer, Thorsten and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {Toward a Hybrid Biosensor System for Analysis of Organic and Volatile Fatty Acids in Fermentation Processes}, series = {Frontiers in Chemistry}, journal = {Frontiers in Chemistry}, number = {6}, publisher = {Frontiers}, address = {Lausanne}, doi = {10.3389/fchem.2018.00284}, pages = {Artikel 284}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Monitoring of organic acids (OA) and volatile fatty acids (VFA) is crucial for the control of anaerobic digestion. In case of unstable process conditions, an accumulation of these intermediates occurs. In the present work, two different enzyme-based biosensor arrays are combined and presented for facile electrochemical determination of several process-relevant analytes. Each biosensor utilizes a platinum sensor chip (14 × 14 mm²) with five individual working electrodes. The OA biosensor enables simultaneous measurement of ethanol, formate, d- and l-lactate, based on a bi-enzymatic detection principle. The second VFA biosensor provides an amperometric platform for quantification of acetate and propionate, mediated by oxidation of hydrogen peroxide. The cross-sensitivity of both biosensors toward potential interferents, typically present in fermentation samples, was investigated. The potential for practical application in complex media was successfully demonstrated in spiked sludge samples collected from three different biogas plants. Thereby, the results obtained by both of the biosensors were in good agreement to the applied reference measurements by photometry and gas chromatography, respectively. The proposed hybrid biosensor system was also used for long-term monitoring of a lab-scale biogas reactor (0.01 m³) for a period of 2 months. In combination with typically monitored parameters, such as gas quality, pH and FOS/TAC (volatile organic acids/total anorganic carbonate), the amperometric measurements of OA and VFA concentration could enhance the understanding of ongoing fermentation processes.}, language = {en} } @article{SelmerHermannJessenetal.2005, author = {Selmer, Thorsten and Hermann, Gloria and Jessen, Holly and Gokarn, Ravi R.}, title = {Two beta-alanyl-CoA:ammonia lyases in Clostridium propionicum / Herrmann , G. ; Selmer, T. ; Jessen, HJ. ; Gokarn, RR. ; Selifonova, O. ; Gort , SJ. ; , Buckel, W.}, series = {The FEBS Journal. 272 (2005), H. 3}, journal = {The FEBS Journal. 272 (2005), H. 3}, isbn = {1742-464X}, pages = {813 -- 821}, year = {2005}, language = {en} } @article{WernerGroebelWagneretal.2011, author = {Werner, Frederik and Groebel, Simone and Wagner, Torsten and Yoshinobu, Tatsuo and Selmer, Thorsten and Baumann, Marcus and Sch{\"o}ning, Michael Josef}, title = {{\"U}berwachung der metabolischen Aktivit{\"a}t von Mikroorganismen zur Kontrolle des biologischen Prozesses im Biogasfermenter}, series = {Biogas 2011 : Energietr{\"a}ger der Zukunft ; 6.
