Alc. dehydrogenases (ADHs) together with the economical substrate-coupled cofactor regeneration system play a pivotal role in the asym. synthesis of chiral alcs.; however, severe challenges concerning the poor tolerance of enzymes to 2-propanol and the adverse effects of the byproduct, acetone, limit its applications, causing this strategy to lapse. Herein, a novel ADH gene smadh2 was identified from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia by traditional genome mining technol. The gene was cloned into Escherichia coli cells and then expressed to yield SmADH2. SmADH2 has a broad substrate spectrum and exhibits excellent tolerance and superb activity to 2-propanol even at 10.5 M (80%, volume/volume) concentration Moreover, a new thermostatic bubble column reactor (TBCR) system is successfully designed to alleviate the inhibition of the byproduct acetone by gas flow and continuously supplement 2-propanol. The organic waste can be simultaneously recovered for the purpose of green synthesis. In the sustainable system, structurally diverse chiral alcs. are synthesized at a high substrate loading (>150 g L-1) without adding external coenzymes. Among these, about 780 g L-1 (6 M) Et acetoacetate is completely converted into Et (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate in only 2.5 h with 99.9% ee and 7488 g L-1 d-1 space-time yield. Mol. dynamics simulation results shed light on the high catalytic activity toward the substrate. Therefore, the high 2-propanol tolerance SmADH2 with the TBCR system proves to be a potent biocatalytic strategy for the synthesis of chiral alcs. on an industrial scale.
