A sensitive procedure for screening microorganisms for the presence of penicillin amidase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
W L Baker 《Australian journal of biological sciences》1984,37(4):257-265
A procedure is described for screening bacteria for the presence of penicillin amidase. Cells, grown in the presence of phenylacetic acid, are incubated with phenoxymethylpenicillin (type I), benzylpenicillin (type II) or ampicillin and the 6-aminopenicillanic acid formed is detected and quantitatively estimated by its strong reaction with fluorescamine at pH 4. There is no requirement for separation of the penicillin substrate from the product but when alpha-aminobenzylpenicillin derivatives are used as enzyme substrates the amount of 6-aminopenicillanic acid formed must be determined by calculation. The procedure allowed positive and reliable identification of penicillin amidases in six organisms known to produce the enzyme and indicated that some of these enzymes had different properties in reactivity towards alpha-aminobenzylpenicillin derivatives. 相似文献

Benzylpenicillin filtered broths purified by ultrafiltration and fermented broths clarified by ultrafiltration and afterwards concentrated by reverse osmosis were used directly for enzymatic conversion of benzylpenicillin to 6-aminopenicillanic acid and phenylacetic acid by immobilised penicillin G acylase or amidase. It was concluded that, when the ultrafiltration operation retained 100% of protein, the concentrates from reverse osmosis could be successfully directly fed to the enzymatic reactor, giving high enzymatic conversion yield of benzylpenicillin to 6-aminopenicillanic acid. 相似文献

Immobilization of permeabilized Escherichia coli cells with penicillin acylase activity. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Escherichia coli cells with penicillin acylase activity were sequentially treated at pH 7.8 with aqueous solutions of N-cetyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide and glutaraldehyde and then immobilized within porous polyacrylamide beads. The immobilized whole cells showed enhanced hydrolysis rates in the conversion of benzylpenicillin to 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) compared to untreated cells immobilized and used under identical conditions. The immobilized system showed no apparent loss in enzyme activity when used repeatedly over 90 cycles for 6-APA production from 4% benzylpenicillin. 相似文献

Several penicillin-producing fungi were examined for ability to produce 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) and penicillin acylase. 6-APA was found in corn steep liquor fermentations of Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Aspergillus ochraceous, and three strains of Penicillium sp. 6-APA was not detected in fermentations of Epidermophyton floccosum although penicillins were produced. 6-APA formed a large part of the total antibiotic production of T. mentagrophytes. The types of penicillins produced by various fungi were identified by paper chromatography, and it was found that all cultures produced benzylpenicillin. T. mentagrophytes and A. ochraceous showed increased yields of benzylpenicillin and the formation of phenoxymethylpenicillin in response to the addition to the fermentation medium of phenylacetic acid and phenoxyacetic acid, respectively. Washed mycelia of the three Penicillium spp. and two high penicillin-yielding strains of P. chrysogenum possessed penicillin acylase activity against phenoxymethylpenicillin. A. ochraceous, T. mentagrophytes, E. floccosum, and Cephalosporium sp. also had penicillin acylase activity against phenoxymethylpenicillin. Only two of the above fungi, T. mentagrophytes and E. floccosum, showed significant penicillin acylase activity against benzylpenicillin; in both cases it was very low. The acylase activity of A. ochraceous was considerably increased by culturing in the presence of phenoxyacetic acid. It is concluded that 6-APA frequently but not invariably accompanies the formation of penicillin, and that penicillin acylase activity against phenoxymethylpenicillin is present in all penicillin-producing fungi. 相似文献

Immobilization of penicillin acylase on acrylic carriers 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Penicillin acylase obtained from E. Coli (E. C. 3.5.1.11) was covalently bound via glutaric aldehyde to acrylic carriers crosslinked with divinylbenzene or ethylene glycol dimethacrylate. The best enzymatic preparation was obtained by using ethyl acrylate/ ethylene glycol dimethacrylate copolymer. 1 cm3 of the carrier bound 6.4 mg of protein, having 72% activity in relation to the native enzyme. The preparation lost only 10% of its initial activity after 100 d of storage at 4°C. A negligible effect of immobilization on the enzyme activity at different temperatures or pH as well as significant increase of the stability of the immobilized enzyme at elevated temperatures were observed.Abbreviations BA

The equilibrium constant for penicillin amidase-catalyzed hydrolysis of benzylpenicillin(Keg =3.00 +/- 0.24 x 10(-3) M at pH 5.0) and the ionization constants for phenylacetic acid (PAA) and the amino groups of 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA) were determined (4.20 and 4.60 under conditions of the kinetic experiments respectively). The experimental data at pH 6.0 satisfactorily correlated with the theoretical pH-dependence for Keg constructed according to the hypothesis that benzylpenicillin synthesis has a thermodynamic optimum at pH 4.4 equal to a half-sum of the pK values for the carboxylic and amino groups of the PAA and 6-APA respectively. 相似文献

1. 3H was incorporated into solvent-soluble penicillin from isopenicillin N and 6-aminopenicillanic acid 3H-labelled in the 2beta-methyl group when the labelled compounds were incubated with a crude extract of Penicillum chrysogenum. 2. With a soluble protein fraction of the extract incorporation from isopenicillin N occurred on addition of phenyl-acetyl-CoA. 3. Labelled benzylpenicillin was isolated after incubation of the crude extract with phenylacetyl-CoA and isopenicillin and the addition of unlabelled benzylpenicillin as a carrier. 4. No incorporation of 3H into solvent-soluble penicillin was detected on incubation of these extracts with penicillin N. 相似文献

The kinetics of the enzymatic synthesis of benzylpenicillin catalysed by penicillin amidase (EC 3.5.1.11) from Escherichia coli have been studied. Both free phenylacetic acid (PAA) and its activated derivative, phenylacetylglycine (PAG), were used in the synthesis as acylating agents for 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA). The catalytic rate constants for synthesis carried out at pH 6.0 were 11.2 and 25.2 s−1, respectively, i.e. they are close and have high absolute values. The main feature of the enzymatic synthesis of benzylpenicillin from phenylacetylglycine, compared with the synthesis from phenylacetic acid, is the shape of the progress curve of antibiotic accumulation. In the former case, benzylpenicillin gradually accumulates until equilibrium is reached. Thus, if the reaction is carried out at the thermodynamically optimum pH of synthesis (low pH), penicillin can be obtained in high yield. In the case of phenylacetylglycine, the kinetic curves are more complex and are characterized by a clear-cut maximum. The presence of the maximum, its value and position on the time axis depend on reagent concentration and on the pH used. A kinetic scheme is proposed which describes well the experimental dependencies. The possibility of using activated acid derivatives in synthesis and the advantages of using computer calculations for process optimization are discussed. 相似文献

An easy, rapid, and available method for separating 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA), benzylpenicillin (penicillin G), and other related molecules from aqueous solutions or complex industrial broths is described. A high concentration of ammonium sulphate induces partially or totally the precipitation of the penicillin present in the solutions, while 6-APA, phenylacetic, and phenoxyacetic acid always remain in the supernatant. The filtration through No. 4 Pyrex glass-fiber filter or Whatman 3MM paper permits the separation of the compounds present in the supernatant from the other ones precipitated. The precipitated product was identified, in all cases, as ammonium penicillin. This method is described here for the first time. 相似文献

Penicillins and other acylamino compounds synthesized by the cell-bound penicillin acylase of Escherichia coli 总被引:3,自引:2,他引:1

1. The penicillin acylase of Eschericha coli N.C.I.B. 8743 is a reversible enzyme. Reaction rates for the two directions have been determined. 2. Measurements of the rates of enzymic synthesis of penicillins from 6-aminopenicillanic acid and various carboxylic acids revealed that p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid was the best substrate, followed by phenylacetic, 2-thienylacetic, substituted phenylacetic, 3-hexenoic and n-hexanoic acids. 3. The rate of synthesis of penicillin improved when amides or N-acylglycines were used; alpha-aminobenzylpenicillin and phenoxymethylpenicillin were only synthesized when using these more energy-rich compounds. 4. Phenyl-acetylglycine was the best substrate for the synthesis of benzylpenicillin compared with other derivatives of phenylacetic acid. 5. The enzyme was specific for acyl-l-amino acids, benzylpenicillin being synthesized from phenylacetyl-l-alpha-aminophenylacetic acid but not from phenylacetyl-d-alpha-aminophenylacetic acid. 6. alpha-Phenoxyethylpenicillin was synthesized from 6-aminopenicillanic acid and alpha-phenoxypropionylthioglycollic acid non-enzymically, but the rate was faster in the presence of the enzyme. 7. The E. coli acylase catalysed the acylation of hydroxylamine by acids or amides to give hydroxamic acids, the phenylacetyl group being the most suitable acyl group. The enzyme also catalysed other acyl-group transfers. 相似文献

A new screening method for bacteria capable of producing penicillin acylase is described. The method is based on the use of Serratia marcescens sensitive to 6-aminopenicillanic acid but comparatively resistant to benzylpenicillin. It is simple, quite specific, and requires no special equipment. It can also be used to screen for phenoxymethylpenicillin acylase activity. We also suggest an acidimetric method for rapid detection of cloned genes in genetic engineering studies of penicillin acylase. 相似文献

A rate equation has been derived to describe the hydrolysis of benzylpenicillin to 6-aminopenicillanic acid by penicillin amidase. The integrated from of the rate equation has been shown to predict satisfactorily the progress of the reaction in a batch reactor using either soluble or immobilized penicillin amidase. The rate equation was also used to predict the performance of a continuous feed stirred tank reactor containing immobilized enzyme. There was good agreement with experimental measurements. 相似文献

Acyl coenzyme A: 6-aminopenicillanic acid acyltransferase from Penicillium chrysogenum and Aspergillus nidulans 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

A study of the final stages of the biosynthesis of the penicillins in Penicillium chrysogenum has revealed two types of enzyme. One hydrolyses phenoxymethyl penicillin to 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA). The other, also obtained from Aspergillus nidulans, transfers a phenylacetyl group from phenylacetyl CoA to 6-APA. The acyltransferase, purified to apparent homogeneity, had a molecular mass of 40 kDa. It also catalyses the conversion of isopenicillin N (IPN) to benzylpenicillin (Pen G) and hydrolyses IPN to 6-APA. In the presence of SDS it dissociates, with loss of activity, into fragments of ca 30 and 10.5 kDa, but activity is regained when these fragments recombine in the absence of SDS. 相似文献

Using a cell suspension of a bacterial strain isolated from natural material, benzylpenicillin solution was hydrolysed in water to which toluene was added. The resultant 6-aminopenicillanic acid was isolated in crystalline form. The yield from 0.5% penicillin solution was 69% of the theoretical yield, from 1% solution 64% and from 2% solution up to 45%. The cell suspension could be used several times, the highest yield being obtained on the second or third occasion. 相似文献

A bacterium which utilizes benzylpenicillin as carbon, nitrogen and energy source was isolated from a lake sediment. The organism was identified as a strain of Pseudomonas fluorescens with a GC content of 59.71 Mol %. After growth of the organism on a mineral salts medium containing benzylpenicillin, the derivatives benzylpenicilloic acid, benzylpenilloic acid and benzylpenicillenic acid were found in culture media. There was no indication that the phenylacetate side chain of benzylpenicillin is decomposed. In uninoculated culture media benzylpenicillin, benzylpenicilloic acid and benzylpenicillenic acid were demonstrable. The following compounds were found to be absent from inoculated or uninoculated culture fluids: d-penicillamine, l-valine, l-cysteine, benzylpenillic acid and 6-aminopenicillanic acid. The organism possesses penicillinase. Penicillin acylase was not demonstrable. The reaction product of penicillinase, benzylpenicilloic acid, supports only little growth. There is no growth on 6-aminopenicillanic acid with or without NH4Cl. Relatively little growth occurs on 6-aminopenicillanic acid in the presence of phenylacetic acid.The data indicate that the nucleus of the benzylpenicillin molecule is utilized as carbon, nitrogen and energy source. During growth a part of the substrate is destroyed into scarcely usable benzylpenicilloic acid; hereby the antibiotic is detoxified.Abbreviations TLC

The regularities of biosynthesis of 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA), benzylpenicillin (BP) and phenoxymethylpenicillin (PMP) by the strains under the investigation did not significantly differ. In the absence of the precursor both the strains mainly synthesized 6-APA. Phenylacetic acid (PAA) and phenoxyacetic acid (POAA) provided directed biosynthesis: the fungus synthesized BP or PMP depending on the precursor nature. When the amount of the precursors was not sufficient, 6-APA was synthesized along with the penicillins. PAA proved to be a more active precursor than POAA. When both precursors were present in the fermentation broth, only BR was synthesized. An important distinction of strain 316A was its increased sensitivity to PAA especially in the initial period. After an increase in the PAA concentration the growth rate of strain 316A lowered to a greater extent than that of strain 284A. This was likely to determine the higher levels of penicillin production by strain 316A in the presence of POAA, a nontoxic precursor. A procedure for supplying the precursors was developed. Under the laboratory conditions it provided high levels of the penicillin production. 相似文献

Penicillin G acylase (PGA) is used for the commercial production of semi-synthetic penicillins. It hydrolyses the amide bond in penicillin producing 6-aminopenicillanic acid and phenylacetate. 6-Aminopenicillanic acid, having the beta-lactam nucleus, is the parent compound for all semi-synthetic penicillins. Penicillin G acylase from Kluyvera citrophila was purified and chemically modified to identify the role of arginine in catalysis. Modification with 20 mM phenylglyoxal and 50 mM 2,3-butanedione resulted in 82% and 78% inactivation, respectively. Inactivation was prevented by protection with benzylpenicillin or phenylacetate at 50 mM. The reaction followed psuedo-first order kinetics and the inactivation kinetics (V(max), K(m), and k(cat)) of native and modified enzyme indicates the essentiality of arginyl residue in catalysis. 相似文献

The penicillin acylase activity of Penicillium chrysogenum was studied. Washed mycelial suspensions of a high penicillin-producing and a nonproducing strain were found to be similar in respect to relative acylase activity on benzylpenicillin, 2-pentenylpenicillin, heptylpenicillin, and phenoxymethylpenicillin. The relative rates for both strains, as determined by 6-aminopenicillanic acid formation, were approximately 1.0, 2.5, 3.5, and 6.0 on the penicillins in the order given. The high producing strain formed both 6-aminopenicillanic acid and "natural" penicillins in fermentations to which no side-chain precursor had been added. Therefore, its demonstrated ability to cleave the natural penicillins, 2-pentenylpenicillin and heptylpenicillin, suggests that at least some of the 6-aminopenicillanic acid produced during such fermentations arises from the hydrolysis of the natural penicillins. At pH 8.5, the mycelial acylase activity of the nonproducing strain was about three times that at pH 6.0; at 35 C, it was about 1.5 times as active as it was at 30 C. When tested on penicillin G or V, no differences in either total or specific penicillin acylase activity were observed among mycelia harvested from cultures of the nonproducer to which penicillin G, penicillin V, or no penicillin had been added. Acetone-dried mycelium from both strains displayed acylase activity, but considerably less than that shown by viable mycelium. Culture filtrates were essentially inactive, although a very low order of activity was detected when culture filtrate from the nonproducer was treated with acetone and the acetone-precipitated material was assayed in a minimal amount of buffer. 相似文献
