ABSTRACT
Kojic acid derivatives are useful in the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. The current investigation focuses on the search for a safe and environmentally friendly newer whole-cell biocatalyst for the synthesis of kojic acid derivative especially 2-amino-6-(hydroxymethyl)-8-oxo-4-phenyl-4,8-dihydropyrano[3,2-b]pyran-3-carbonitrile (APhCN). In this context, a total of six cultures were isolated from fecal samples of infants and subjected to probiotic characterization followed by screening as whole cell biocatalyst (WCB). In this multicomponent reaction, benzaldehyde, malononitrile, and kojic acid were used to synthesize APhCN at room temperature under aqueous conditions. The screening of potent whole cell biocatalyst (WCB) from isolated cultures was done by comparing reaction time and percent yield. The potent WCB gave a good yield of 95% within 15 h of time and hence further characterized biochemically and identified as Lentilactobacillus farraginis by using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Lactobacilli having GRAS (generally regarded as safe) status and being able to carry out this transformation under moderate reaction conditions with easy recovery of both product and biocatalyst, it has the potential to replace some of the chemical catalytic methods.
