A synthetic microbial biosensor for high-throughput screening of lactam biocatalysts

Efficient biosynthesis of lactams is still undesirable due to lacking of suitable enzyme. Here, the authors develop a sensitive transcription factor-based biosensor for high-throughput screening of marine metagenome and find a cyclase that can cyclize ω-amino fatty acids to lactam.
