Exploring the biotechnological potential of Acinetobacter soli ANG344B: A novel bacterium for 2-phenylethanol production.

ABSTRACT: A bacterium, Acinetobacter soli ANG344B, isolated from river water, exhibited an exceptional capacity to produce 2-phenylethanol (2-PE) using L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) as a precursor-a capability typically observed in yeasts rather than bacteria. Bioreactor experiments were conducted to evaluate the production performance, using glucose as the carbon source for cellular growth and L-Phe as the precursor for 2-PE production. Remarkably, A. soli ANG344B achieved a 2-PE concentration of 2.35 ± 0.26 g/L in just 24.5 h of cultivation, exhibiting a global volumetric productivity of 0.10 ± 0.01 g/L.h and a production yield of 0.51 ± 0.01 g_2-PE/g_L-Phe, a result hitherto reported only for yeasts. These findings position A. soli ANG344B as a highly promising
