Aqueous/organic two-phase systems have been evaluated for enhanced production of (R)-phenylacetylcarbinol (PAC) from pyruvate and benzaldehyde using partially purified pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) from Candida utilis. In a solvent screen, octanol was identified as the most suitable solvent for PAC production in the two-phase system in comparison to butanol, pentanol, nonanol, hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, dodecane, methylcyclohexane, methyl tert butyl ether, and toluene. The high partitioning coefficient of the toxic substrate benzaldehyde in octanol allowed delivery of large amounts of benzaldehyde into the aqueous phase at a concentration less than 50 mM. PDC catalyzed the biotransformation of benzaldehyde and pyruvate to PAC in the aqueous phase, and continuous extraction of PAC and byproducts acetoin and acetaldehyde into the octanol phase further minimized enzyme inactivation, and inhibition due to acetaldehyde. For the rapidly stirred two-phase system with a 1:1 phase ratio and 8.5 U/mL carboligase activity, 937 mM (141 g/L) PAC was produced in the octanol phase in 49 h with an additional 127 mM (19 g/L) in the aqueous phase. Similar concentrations of PAC could be produced in the slowly stirred phase separated system at this enzyme level, although at a much slower rate. However at lower enzyme concentration very high specific PAC production (128 mg PAC/U carboligase at 0.9 U/mL) was achieved in the phase separated system, while still reaching final PAC levels of 102 g/L in octanol and 13 g/L in the aqueous phase. By comparison with previously published data by our group for a benzaldehyde emulsion system without octanol (50 g/L PAC, 6 mg PAC/U carboligase), significantly higher PAC concentrations and specific PAC production can be achieved in an octanol/aqueous two-phase system. 相似文献

Biphasic aqueous/organic biotransformation of acetaldehyde and benzaldehyde by Zymomonas mobilis pyruvate decarboxylase 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Zymomonas mobilis pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) transformed acetaldehyde and benzaldehyde into (R)-phenylacetylcarbinol (PAC), the precursor for the synthesis of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. Organic solvents were screened for a biphasic biotransformation with the enzyme in an aqueous phase and the toxic substrates delivered through the organic phase. In the absence of substrates a second phase of 1-pentanol, hexadecane or MTBE (methyl tertiary-butyl ether) stabilized the PDC activity in comparison to a control without added solvent. Organic phase solvents for optimal PAC production had partitioning coefficient (log P) values between 0.8 and 2.8 (production of more than 8 mg PAC/ U PDC), however there was no correlation between enzyme stability and log P. Best PAC formation was observed with the eight tested alcohols, which in contrast to the other solvents allowed lower initial concentrations of toxic acetaldehyde (54-81 mM) in the aqueous phase. 1-pentanol, 1-hexanol, and isobutanol resulted in the highest specific PAC production of 11 mg PAC /U PDC. Without the addition of an organic phase, only 1.2 mg/U was formed. 相似文献

Production of L-phenylacetylcarbinol (L-PAC) from benzaldehyde using partially purified pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Biotransformation of benzaldehyde to L-phenylacetylcarbinol (L-PAC) as a key intermediate for L-ephedrine synthesis has been evaluated using pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) partially purified from Candida utilis. PDC activity was enhanced by controlled fermentative metabolism and pulse feeding of glucose prior to the enzyme purification. With partially purified PDC, several enzymatic reactions occurred simultaneously and gave rise to by-products (acetaldehyde and acetoin) as well as L-PAC production. Optimal reaction conditions were determined for temperature, pH, addition of ethanol, PDC activity, benzaldehyde, and pyruvate:benzaldehyde ratio to maximize L-PAC, and minimize by-products. The highest L-PAC concentration of 28.6 g/L (190.6 mM) was achieved at 7 U/mL PDC activity and 200 mM benzaldehyde with 2.0 molar ratio of pyruvate to benzaldehyde in 40 mM potassium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) containing 2.0 M ethanol at 4 degrees C.

Recent progress in enzymatic (R)-phenylacetylcarbinol (PAC) production has established the need for low cost and efficient biocatalyst preparation. Pyruvate
decarboxylase (PDC) added in the form of Candida utilis cells showed higher stability towards benzaldehyde and temperature in comparison with partially purified preparations. In
the presence of 50 mM benzaldehyde and at 4°C, a half-life of 228 h was estimated for PDC added as C. utilis cells, in comparison with 24 h for the partially purified preparation. Increasing the temperature from 4 to 21°C for PAC
production with C. utilis cells resulted in similar final PAC levels of 39 and 43 g l−1 (258 and 289 mM), respectively, from initial 300 mM benzaldehyde and 364 mM pyruvate. The overall volumetric productivity
was enhanced 2.8-fold, which reflected the 60% shorter reaction time at the higher temperature. Enantiomeric excess values
of 98 and 94% for R-PAC were obtained at 4 and 21°C, respectively, and benzyl alcohol (a potential by-product from benzaldehyde) was not formed. 相似文献

(R)-Phenylacetylcarbinol (PAC), a pharmaceutical precursor, was produced from benzaldehyde and pyruvate by pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) of Candida utilis in an aqueous/organic two-phase emulsion reactor. When the partially purified enzyme in this previously established in vitro process was replaced with C. utilis cells and the temperature was increased from 4 to 21 °C, a screen of several 1-alcohols (C4–C9) confirmed the suitability of 1-octanol as the organic phase. Benzyl alcohol, the major by-product in the commercial in vivo conversion of benzaldehyde and sugar to PAC by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was not formed. With a phase volume ratio of 1:1 and 5.6 g C. utilis l−1 (PDC activity 2.5 U ml−1), PAC levels of 103 g l−1 in the octanol phase and 12.8 g l−1 in the aqueous phase were produced in 15 h at 21 °C. In comparison to our previously published process with partially purified PDC in an aqueous/octanol emulsion at 4 °C, PAC was produced at a 4-times increased specific rate (1.54 versus 0.39 mg U−1 h−1) with simplified catalyst production and reduced cooling cost. Compared to traditional in vivo whole cell PAC production, the yield on benzaldehyde was 26% higher, the product concentration increased 3.9-fold (or 6.9-fold based on the organic phase), the productivity improved 3.1-fold (3.9 g l−1 h−1) and the catalyst was 6.9-fold more efficient (PAC/dry cell mass 10.3 g g−1).*Dedicated with gratitude to Prof. Dr. Franz Lingens – “Theo”. 相似文献

Kinetic analysis and modelling of enzymatic (R)-phenylacetylcarbinol batch biotransformation process
Leksawasdi N Chow YY Breuer M Hauer B Rosche B Rogers PL 《Journal of biotechnology》2004,111(2):179-189
Initial rate and biotransformation studies were applied to refine and validate a mathematical model for enzymatic (R)-phenylacetylcarbinol (PAC) production from pyruvate and benzaldehyde using Candida utilis pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC). The rate of PAC formation was directly proportional to the enzyme activity level up to 5.0 U ml-1 carboligase. Michaelis-Menten kinetics were determined for the effect of pyruvate concentration on the reaction rate. The effect of benzaldehyde followed the sigmoidal shape of the Monod-Wyman-Changeux (MWC) model. The biotransformation model, which also included a term for PDC inactivation by benzaldehyde, was used to determine the overall rate constants for the formation of PAC, acetaldehyde, and acetoin. These values were determined from data for three batch biotransformations performed over a range of initial concentrations (viz. 50-150 mM benzaldehyde, 60-180 mM pyruvate, 1.1-3.4 U ml-1 enzyme activity). The finalized model was then used to predict a batch biotransformation profile at 120/100 mM initial pyruvate/benzaldehyde (initial enzyme activity 3.0 U ml-1). The simulated kinetics gave acceptable fitting (R2 = 0.9963) to the time courses of these latter experimental data for substrates pyruvate and benzaldehyde, product PAC, by-products acetaldehyde and acetoin, as well as enzyme activity level. 相似文献

Herein, we synthesized (R)-phenylacetylcarbinol (PAC), a pharmaceutical intermediate for ephedrine and pseudoephedrine, from benzaldehyde and pyruvate using a recombinant pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) from Zymomonas mobilis. A whole cell reaction consisting of 30 mM benzaldehyde, 60 mM pyruvate, and a mutant PDC enzyme (PDC W329M; 1.6 mg DCW/mL) produced 12.4 mM (R)-PAC and less than 0.3 mM benzyl alchohol in 15 h at 20°C, outperforming the crude enzyme extract reaction (1.2 mM (R)-PAC) and minimizing formation of benzyl alchohol, the major by-product of S. cerevisiae whole cell reaction. These observations suggested that recombinant E. coli whole cell reactions are more efficient than crude enzyme extract or yeast-based reactions. We also demonstrated that the E. coli whole cell reaction performed effectively without expensive thiamin diphosphate cofactor. Finally, whole cell reaction (8 mg DCW/mL) was carried out with 200 mM benzaldehyde, 400 mM pyruvate in 10 mL of 500 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.5), and 72 mM (R)-PAC was produced with 36% conversion for 15 h. © KSBB 相似文献

(R)-Phenylacetylcarbinol [(R)-PAC)] is the chiral precursor for the production of the pharmaceuticals ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. Reaction conditions were improved to achieve increased (R)-PAC levels in a simple batch biotransformation of benzaldehyde emulsions and pyruvate, using partially purified pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) from the filamentous fungus Rhizopus javanicus NRRL 13161 as the catalyst. Lowering the temperature from 23 degrees C to 6 degrees C decreased initial rates but increased final (R)-PAC concentrations. Addition of ethanol, which increases benzaldehyde solubility, was not beneficial for (R)-PAC production. It was established that proton uptake during biotransformation increases the pH above 7 thereby limiting (R)-PAC production. For small-scale studies, biotransformations were buffered with 2-2.5 M MOPS (initial pH 6.5). High concentrations of MOPS as well as some alcohols and KCl stabilised PDC. A balance between PDC and substrate concentrations was determined with regards to ( R)-PAC production and yields on enzyme and substrates. R. javanicus PDC (7.4 U/ml) produced 50.6 g/l (337 mM) ( R)-PAC in 29 h at 6 degrees C with initial 400 mM benzaldehyde and 600 mM pyruvate. Molar yields on consumed benzaldehyde and pyruvate were 97% and 59%, respectively, with 17% pyruvate degraded and 24% converted into acetaldehyde and acetoin; 43% PDC activity remained, indicating reasonable enzyme stability at high substrate and product concentrations. 相似文献

Biotransformation of benzaldehyde and pyruvate into (R)-phenylacetylcarbinol (PAC) catalysed by Candida utilis pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) at low buffer concentration (20 mM MOPS) was enhanced by maintenance of neutral pH through acetic acid addition. PDC was very stable in this buffer (half-life 138 h at 6 degrees C), however a benzaldehyde emulsion (400 mM) caused rapid deactivation. The inclusion of 2M glycerol did not protect PDC from inactivation by benzaldehyde but initial rates were increased by 50% and the final PAC level was enhanced from 40 to 51 g l(-1). Low levels of by-products acetaldehyde (0.1-0.15 g l(-1)) and acetoin (1.1-1.3 g l(-1)) were formed in both the presence and absence of 2 M glycerol. Interestingly PDC was more stable towards benzaldehyde when pyruvate was present: no activity was lost during the first hour of biotransformation (2 M glycerol, benzaldehyde concentration decreased from 400 to 345 mM, pyruvate from 480 to 420 mM) but PDC was completely inactivated in less than 30 min when exposed to the same concentrations of benzaldehyde in the absence of pyruvate. Thus the enzyme in catalytic action was more stable than the resting enzyme. 相似文献

Based on previous studies, Candida utilis pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) proved to be a stable and high productivity enzyme for the production (R)-phenylacetylcarbinol (PAC), a pharmaceutical precursor. However, a portion of the substrate pyruvate was lost to by-product formation. To identify a source of PDC which might overcome this problem, strains of four yeasts -- C. utilis, Candida tropicalis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces marxianus -- were investigated for their PDC biocatalytic properties. Biotransformations were conducted with benzaldehyde and pyruvate as substrates and three experimental systems were employed (in the order of increasing benzaldehyde concentrations): (I) aqueous (soluble benzaldehyde), (II) aqueous/benzaldehyde emulsion, and (III) aqueous/octanol-benzaldehyde emulsion. Although C. utilis PDC resulted in the highest concentrations of PAC and was the most stable enzyme, C. tropicalis PDC was associated with the lowest acetoin formation. For example, in system (III) the ratio of PAC over acetoin was 35 g g(-1) for C. tropicalis PDC and 9.2 g g(-1) for C. utilis PDC. The study thereby opens up the potential to design a PDC with both high productivity and high yield characteristics. 相似文献

Based on experimental data, a kinetic model for the deactivation of partially purified pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) by benzaldehyde (0-200 mM) in MOPS buffer (2.5 M) has been developed. An initial lag period prior to deactivation was found to occur. With first order dependencies of PDC deactivation on exposure time and on benzaldehyde concentration, a reaction time deactivation constant of 2.64×10-3 h-1 and a benzaldehyde deactivation coefficient of 1.98×10-4 mM-1 h-1 were determined for benzaldehyde concentrations up to 200 mM. The PDC deactivation kinetic equations established in this study are an essential component in an overall model being developed to describe the enzymatic biotransformation of benzaldehyde and pyruvate to produce the pharmaceutical intermediate (R)-phenylacetylcarbinol (R-PAC). 相似文献

To provide further understanding of the biotransformation of benzaldehyde to L-phenylacetyl carbinol (L-PAC), an intermediate in L-ephedrine production, a kinetic model has been developed for the deactivation of pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) by benzaldehyde. The model confirms that deactivation is first order with respect to benzaldehyde concentration and exhibits a square root dependency on time. The model covers the range of benzaldehyde concentrations 100–300 mM, as it has been shown previously that 200 mM benzaldehyde can produce L-PAC concentrations up to 190 mM (28.6 g/L) using partially purified PDC from Candida utilis. 相似文献

An octanol/aqueous two-phase process for the enzymatic production of (R)-phenylacetylcarbinol (PAC) has been investigated further with regard to optimal pH control and replacement of 2.5?M MOPS buffer by a low cost solute. The specific rate of PAC production in the 2.5?M MOPS system controlled at pH?7 was 0.60?mg?U?1?h?1 (reaction completed at 34?h), a 1.6 times improvement over the same 2.5?M MOPS system without pH control (0.39?mg?U?1?h?1 at 49?h). An improved stability of PDC was evident at the end of biotransformation for the pH-controlled system with 84% residual carboligase activity, while 23% of enzyme activity remained in the absence of pH control. Lowering the MOPS concentration to 20?mM resulted in a lower benzaldehyde concentration in the aqueous phase with a major increase in the formation of by-product acetoin and three times decreased PAC production (0.21?mg?U?1?h?1). Biotransformation with 20?mM MOPS and 2.5?M DPG as inexpensive replacement of high MOPS concentrations provided similar aqueous phase benzaldehyde concentrations compared to 2.5?M MOPS and resulted in a comparable PAC concentration (92.1?g?L?1 in the total reaction volume in 47?h) with modest formation of acetoin. 相似文献

Summary Production of phenylacetylcarbinol (PAC) was measured in various yeast species. The yeast strains tested were cultivated under submerged conditions in a medium containing corn steep and sucrose as the main components; sucrose, acetaldehyde and benzaldehyde were added to the grown cultures. In a first series of experiments the initial rate of PAC production, i.e. the PAC production determined 30 min after the addition of benzaldehyde was determined in 38 yeast strains, mostly of the generaSaccharomyces andCandida. The amount of PAC produced varied from zero (12 strains) to 1.24 mg ml–1. In a second series of experiments, 15 strains, which in the first series had shown a higher PAC production, were further tested. Sucrose, acetaldehyde and benzaldehyde were added to the cultures until the PAC production ceased. The highest PAC production (6.3 mg ml–1) was reached in the strainSaccharomyces carlsbergensis Budvar; the production was slightly lower in 4 strains of the generaSaccharomyces, Candida andHansenula. 相似文献

An integrated bioprocess for effective production and purification of penicillin G acylase (PAC) was developed. PAC was overexpressed in a genetically engineered Escherichia coli strain, secreted into the cultivation medium, harvested, and purified in a single step by anion-exchange chromatography. The cultivation medium developed in this study had a sufficiently low conductivity to allow direct application of the extracellular fraction to the anion-exchange chromatography column while providing all of the required nutrients for sustaining cell growth and PAC overexpression. It was contrived with the purposes of (i) providing sufficient osmolarity and buffering capacity, (ii) minimizing ionic species to facilitate the binding of extracellular proteins to anion-exchange media, and (iii) enhancing PAC expression level and secretion efficiency. Employing this medium recipe the specific PAC activity reached a high level at 871 U/g DCW, of which more than 90% was localized in the extracellular medium. In addition, the osmotic pressure and induction conditions were found to be critical for optimal culture performance. The formation of inclusion bodies associated with PAC overexpression tended to arrest cell growth, leading to potential cell lysis. Clarified culture medium was applied to a strong anion-exchange (Q) column and PAC was purified by non-retentive separation, where most contaminant proteins bound to the chromatographic media with PAC being collected as the major component in the flow-through fraction. After removing the contaminant oligopeptides using ultrafiltration, purified PAC with a specific activity of 16.3 U/mg was obtained and the overall purification factor for this one-step downstream purification process was up to 3 fold. 相似文献

Extracts of 14 filamentous fungi were examined regarding their potential for production of (R)-phenylacetylcarbinol [(R)-PAC], which is the chiral precursor in the manufacture of the pharmaceuticals ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. Benzaldehyde and pyruvate were transformed at a scale of 1.2 ml into PAC by cell-free extracts of all selected strains, covering the broad taxonomic spectrum of Ascomycota, Zygomycota and Basidiomycota. Highest final PAC concentrations were obtained with the extracts of Rhizopus javanicus and Fusarium sp. [78-84 mM (11.7-12.6 g/l) PAC within 20 h from initial substrate concentrations of 100 mM benzaldehyde and 150 mM pyruvate]. (R)-PAC was in about 90-93% enantiomeric excess. Rhizopus javanicus had the advantage of faster growth than Fusarium sp. Rhizopus javanicus mycelia were used as an example in a biotransformation process based on whole cells and benzaldehyde and glucose as substrates. The substrate pyruvate was generated through the fungal fermentation of glucose. Only 19 mM PAC (2.9 g/l) were produced within 8 h from 80 mM benzaldehyde. with evidence of significant benzyl alcohol production. 相似文献

An octanol/aqueous two-phase process for the enzymatic production of (R)-phenylacetylcarbinol (PAC) has been investigated further with regard to optimal pH control and replacement of 2.5 M MOPS buffer by a low cost solute. The specific rate of PAC production in the 2.5 M MOPS system controlled at pH 7 was 0.60 mg U-1 h-1 (reaction completed at 34 h), a 1.6 times improvement over the same 2.5 M MOPS system without pH control (0.39 mg U-1 h-1 at 49 h). An improved stability of PDC was evident at the end of biotransformation for the pH-controlled system with 84% residual carboligase activity, while 23% of enzyme activity remained in the absence of pH control. Lowering the MOPS concentration to 20 mM resulted in a lower benzaldehyde concentration in the aqueous phase with a major increase in the formation of by-product acetoin and three times decreased PAC production (0.21 mg U-1 h-1). Biotransformation with 20 mM MOPS and 2.5 M DPG as inexpensive replacement of high MOPS concentrations provided similar aqueous phase benzaldehyde concentrations compared to 2.5 M MOPS and resulted in a comparable PAC concentration (92.1 g L-1 in the total reaction volume in 47 h) with modest formation of acetoin. 相似文献

Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) is responsible for the decarboxylation of pyruvate, producing acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide and is of high interest for industrial applications. PDC is a very powerful tool in the enzymatic synthesis of chiral amines by combining it with transaminases when alanine is used as amine donor. However, one of the main drawback that hampers its use in biocatalysis is its production and the downstream processing on scale. In this paper, a production process of PDC from Zymobacter palmae has been developed. The enzyme has been cloned and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. It is presented, for the first time, the evaluation of the production of recombinant PDC in a bench‐scale bioreactor, applying a substrate‐limiting fed‐batch strategy which led to a volumetric productivity and a final PDC specific activity of 6942 U L?1h?1 and 3677 U gDCW?1 (dry cell weight). Finally, PDC was purified in fast protein liquid chromatography equipment by ion exchange chromatography. The developed purification process resulted in 100% purification yield and a purification factor of 3.8. 相似文献

Although higher initial rates of phenylacetyl carbinol formation were observed in fermentations containing a high starting benzaldehyde level, a massive reduction in yeast viability was observed resulting in early cessation of production formation. Pulse feeding to maintain lower benzaldehyde concentrations resulted in a lower initial reaction rate, but prolonged yeast viability and the biotransformation. This resulted in higher overall product tilers. As benzaldehyde concentration was increased, yeast growth rate was reduced (0.5 g/L), inhibited (1-2 g/L), or cell viability reduced (3 g/L). Benzaldehyde appeared to alter the cell permeability barrier to substrates and products. Reductions in yeast biomass levels and especially protein and lipid content were observed during the biotransformation. The effects of benzaldehyde and reaction products on yeast pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase stability were determined. Homogenized yeast cells produced similar phenylacetyl carbinol levels to whole yeast only if supplemented with thiamine pyrophosphate and magnesium. 相似文献
