- Abstract
The modulation of whole-cell activity presents a considerable challenge in biocatalysis. Conventional approaches to whole-cell catalysis, while having their strengths, often rely on complex and deliberate enzyme designs, which could result in difficulties in activity modulation and prolonged response times. Additionally, the activity of intracellular enzymes in whole-cell catalysis is influenced by temperature. To address these limitations, we introduced a relationally designed nanobiohybrid system that utilized light to modulate whole-cell catalysis for chiral alcohol production. By incorporating platinum nanoparticles onto Rhodotorula sp. cell surfaces, the nanobiohybrid capitalized on the photothermal properties of the nanoparticles to regulate the overall cell activity. When exposed to light, the Pt nanoparticles generate heat through the photothermal effect, consequently leading to an increase in the catalytic activity of the whole cells. This innovative approach facilitates control over whole-cell production and provides an efficient method for regulating biocatalytic processes. The findings of this study demonstrate the significant potential of switchable control strategies in biomanufacturing across a wide range of industries.
