An immobilized biocatalyst with invertase activity prepared by immobilization of whole yeast cells without use of any insoluble carrier was tested in tubular fixed-bed reactors from the point of view of possible application for continuous full-scale sucrose hydrolysis. At inlet sucrose concentration above 60% (w/w) and reaction temperature 60–70°C, total sucrose hydrolysis was achieved at a flow rate of 0.6–1.5 bed volumes per hour. At a flow rate about 10 bed volumes per hour, the conversion was still 0.5. The specific productivity of the biocatalyst was 3–25 h−1; the productivity of the reactor was 1–9 kg l−1 h−1. The half-life of the biocatalyst invertase activity was 815 h at 70°C. The specific pressure drop over the biocatalyst bed was less than 23 kPa m−1. The biocatalyst was proved to be fully capable of continuous sucrose hydrolysis in fixed-bed reactors.  相似文献

In this study, in order to develop a continuous production process of lactosucrose in a packed-bed reactor, Sterigmatomyces elviae ATCC 18894 was selected and mutated. The mutant strain of S. elviae showed 54.3% higher lactosucrose production than the wild type. Reaction conditions such as temperature, pH, substrate concentration and flow rate were also optimized. Under optimized reaction conditions (50 degrees C, pH 6.0, 25% sucrose and 25% lactose as substrate, flow rate 1.2 ml/min), the maximum concentration of lactosucrose (192 g/l) was obtained. In a packed-bed reactor, continuous production of lactosucrose was performed using S. elviae mutant immobilized in calcium alginate, and about 180 g/l of lactosucrose production was achieved for 48 days.  相似文献

The stability of β-galactosidase entrapped in Ca-alginate–K-κ-carrageenan gels under operation conditions was studied. The thermal deactivation of the immobilised enzyme and the biocatalyst protein loss due to gel swelling were taken into account in the mass balance of the enzymatic reaction rate expression.

Time-temperature effect was the most important factor in the biocatalyst deactivation reaction. However, results showed that the enzyme entrapped in gels was partially lost by gel swelling, which was a source of error in predicting results in continuous processes. The enzyme loss determined in this work showed a non-linear behaviour and it depended on mixing conditions of the reactor.

Values of protein loss were used in the modelling of a fixed-bed reactor with similar flow conditions to reduce the error in predicting the operation conditions to maintain a constant conversion.

For reaction conditions similar to those analysed in this work, the β-galactosidase was well entrapped in alginate-carrageenan matrices.  相似文献

For the application of immobilized enzymes, fixed bed reactors are used almost exclusively. Fixed bed reactors have specific disadvantages, especially for processes with a deactivating catalyst. Therefore, we have studied a novel reactor type with continuous transport of the immobilized biocatalyst. Flow of biocatalyst is countercurrent to the substrate solution. Because of a stagewise reactor design, back-mixing of biocatalyst is very limited and transport is nearly plug flow. The reactor operates at a constant flow rate and conversion, due to constant holdup of catalytic activity. The reactor performance is compared with a configuration of fixed bed reactors. For reactions in the first-order regime, enzyme requirements in this new reactor are slightly less than for fixed bed processes. The multistage fluidized bed appears to be an attractive reactor design to use biocatalyst to a low residual activity. However, nonuniformity of the particles might affect plug flow transport of the biocatalyst. A laboratory scale reactor and experiments are described in Part II(1) of this series. Hydrodynamic design aspects of a multistage fluidized bed are discussed in more detail in Part III.(2).  相似文献

An efficient enzyme system for the synthesis of L-tyrosine was developed using a fed-batch reactor with continuous feeding of phenol, pyruvate, and ammonia. A thermo- and chemostable tyrosine phenol-lyase from Symbiobacterium toebii was employed as the biocatalyst in this work. The enzyme was produced using a constitutive expression system in Escherichia coli BL21, and prepared as a soluble extract by rapid clarification, involving treatment with 40% methanol in the presence of excess ammonium chloride. The stability of the enzyme was maintained for at least 18 h under the synthesis conditions, including 75 mM phenol at pH 8.5 and 40 degrees C. The fed-batch system (working volume, 0.5 1) containing 1.0 kU of the enzyme preparation was continuously fed with two substrate preparations: one containing 2.2 M phenol and 2.4 M sodium pyruvate, and the other containing 0.4 mM pyridoxal-5-phosphate and 4 M ammonium chloride (pH 8.5). The system produced 130 g/l of L-tyrosine within 30 h, mostly as precipitated particles, upon continuous feeding of the substrates for 22 h. The maximum conversion yield of L-tyrosine was 94% on the basis of the supplied phenol.  相似文献

For L-aspartic acid biosynthesis, high production cells of Escherichia coli mutant B-715 and P1 were immobilized in chitosan gel using a technique developed in our laboratory. The immobilization process reduced initial activity of the intact cells, however, the biocatalyst produced was very stabile for long-term use in multi-repeated batch or continuous processes. Temperature influence on the conversion of ammonium fumarate to L-aspartic acid was investigated. In long-term experiments, over 603 hours, the temperature 40 degrees C was found to be the best for both biocatalyst stability and high conversion rate. The optimum substrate concentration was 1.0 M. Continuous production of L-aspartic acid was investigated in three types of column bioreactors characterized by different volumes as well as different high to biocatalyst bed volume rations (Hz/Vz). The highest conversion rate, 99.8%, and the productivity 6 g/g/h (mass of L-aspartic acid per dry mass of cells in biocatalyst per time unit) was achieved in the bioreactor with the highest value Hz/Vz = 3.1, and liquid hour space velocity value of 5.2, defined as the volume of feeding substrate passed per volume of catalyst in bioreactor per one hour.  相似文献

Studies have been conducted on L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) production and phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) stabilization in the presence of several optimum effectors and reducing agents under bioconversion of transcinnamic acid (t-CA) conditions during repeated batch operations. L-Phe production was maximized and reuseability of PAL catalyst was extended to eight consecutive cycles (repeated batches) in the presence of optimum effectors (glutamic acid, polyethylene glycol and glycerol), thioglycolic acid and sparging with nitrogen gas. These best optimum bioconversion conditions desensitize the PAL catalyst to substantially elevated higher substrate t-CA concentrations and inhibit inactivation of PAL enzyme over longer reaction periods compared to the control. The fed batch mode operation of bioconversion of total t-CA (300 mM) to L-Phe was superior (65.2%, conversion), comparing with conventional batch and repeated batch (58.4%, conversion) operations after 120 h. Gamma irradiation process was employed to polymerize and crosslink polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with N,N'-methylene-bisacrylamide (BIS) agent. The use of immobilized PAL biocatalyst containing cells in PVA-BIS copolymer gel carrier produced by radiation polymerization is obviously advantageous with regards to the yield of L-Phe which was increased in average 1.2-fold when compare to those obtained with free cells during optimum bioconversion process. When comparing the magnitudes of gamma irradiation effects on immobilized entrapped yeast cells in PVA-BIS copolymer gel carrier using scanning electron microscopy it was show that yeast cells were protected and capable to overcome these conditions and had normal shape and other features as free (unirradiated) intact yeast cells. Optimum conditions for continuous production of L-Phe by PVA-BIS copolymer carrier entrapped yeast cells in a packed bed column reactor in recycle fed-batch mode were investigated. Under these optimum conditions L-Phe accumulated to concentration 240.1 mM represts a total conversion yield of 80% (w/w) from (300 mM) t-CA after 84 h of reaction process, which was higher than that obtained after 120 h of reaction, 65.2% (w/w) from (300 mM) t-CA with free cells in fed-batch mode. The results also demonstrated that during about 4 weeks of repeated continuous recycle fed batch mode experiments (using immobilized cells in packed bed reactor), the final production of L-Phe concentrations decreased gradually in eight consecutive runs with no sign of breakage or disintegration of the carrier gel beads.  相似文献

The two processes for the partial purification and for the immobilization of a crude lipase preparation (Candida rugosa Lipase OF) have been successfully integrated into one by simple adsorption of the enzyme onto a cation ion exchanger resin (SP-Sephadex C-50) at pH 3.5. Due to selective removal of the unfavorable lipase isoenzyme (L1), the enzyme components (mainly L2 and L3) that are tightly fixed on the resin displayed a significantly improved enantioselectivity (E value: 50 versus 13 with addition of Tween-80) in the biocatalytic hydrolysis of 2-chloroethyl ester of rac-ketoprofen. The activity yields of the immobilized lipase were 48 and 70%, respectively when emulsified and non-emulsified substrates were employed for enzyme assay. Moreover, the concentration of Tween-80 was found to be a factor affecting the lipase enantioselectivity. By using such an immobilized enzyme as biocatalyst, the process for preparing enantiopure (S)-ketoprofen becomes simpler and more practical as compared with the previously reported procedures and the product was obtained with >94% ee at 22.3% conversion in the presence of an optimal concentration (0.5 mg/ml) of Tween-80 at pH 3.5. Furthermore, the operational stability of the immobilized biocatalyst was examined in different types of reactors. In an air-bubbled column reactor, the productivity was much higher than that in a packed-bed column reactor, in spite of a slightly lower stability. Under optimal conditions, the air-bubbled column reactor could be operated smoothly for at least 350 h, remaining nearly 50% activity.  相似文献

The rate of celluose degradation, limited due to the inhibition by cellobiose, can be increased by the hydrolysis of cellobiose to glucose using immobilized beta-glucosidase. Production of beta-glucosidase in four yeasts was studied and a maximum activity of 1.22 IU/mg cells was obtained in cells of Pichia etchellsii when grown on 3% cellobiose as the sole carbon source. A study of the immobilization of beta-glucosidase containing cells of Pichia etchellsii on various solid supports was conducted and immobilization by entrapment in calcium alginate gel beads was found to be the most simple and efficient method. A retention of 96.5% of initial activity after ten sequential batch uses of the immobilized preparation was observed. The pH and temperature optima for free and immobilized cells were the same, i.e., 6.5 (0.05M Maleate buffer) and 50 degrees C, respectively. Even though the temperature optimum was found to be 50 degrees C, the enzyme exhibits a better thermal stability at 45 degrees C. Beads stored at 4 degrees C for six months retain 80% of their activity. Kinetic studies performed on free and immobilized cells shown that glucose is a noncompetitive product inhibitor.The immobilized preparation was found to be limited by pore diffusion but exhibited no film-diffusion resistance during packed bed column indicated by a low dispersion number of 0.1348. A model for reaction with pore diffusion for a noncompetitive type of inhibited system was developed and applied to the cellobiose hydrolysis system. The rate of reaction with diffusional limitations was determined by using the model and effectiveness factors were calculated for different particle sizes. An effectiveness factor of 0.49 was obtained for a particle diameter of 2.5 mm. The modified rate expression using the effectiveness factor represented batch and packed bed reactor operation satisfactorily. The productivity in the packed bed column was found to fall rapidly with increase in conversion rate indicating that the operating conditions of the column would have to be a compromise between high conversion rates and reasonable productivity. A half-life of over seven days was obtained at the operating temperature of 45 degrees C in continuous operation of the packed bed reactor. However, the half-life in the column was found to be greatly affected by temperature, increasing to over seventeen days at a temperature of 40 degrees C and decreasing to less than two days at 50 degrees C.  相似文献

To extend the use of Beauveria bassiana for commercial applications, the optimization of reaction conditions and accurate prediction of biotransformation products are necessary. This work enhances the selective hydroxylation capacity of strain ATCC 7159, resulting in a cost effective and eco-friendly process for the synthesis of valuable 11α-hydroxy steroids. Our work establishes the biochemical pathway of DHEA to hydroxylated intermediates with strain ATCC 7159, and distinguishes the optimum conditions for reactor arrangements, substrate concentration, reaction temperature, and pH. Higher substrate conversion, selectivity, and yield of desired product was achieved with “resting cells.” Addition of higher volumes of growing medium relative to reaction buffer increases the reaction rate. When a diluted amount of substrate is used, a higher yield of 11α-hydroxy steroids is achieved. Also, reactions at 26?°C with pH ranges between 6.0 and 7.0 result in the highest conversion (70%) and the higher product yield (45.8%). B. bassiana has the capacity to metabolize DHEA and similar steroids in different reaction schemes, and has a promising future as biocatalyst to be used in the production of drug metabolites.  相似文献

Different possibilities for converting pregnenolone triacetate to prednisolone using immobilized preparations of Flavobacterium dehydrogenans, Curvularia lunata and Arthrobacter simpelex in a fixed-bed loop reactor were investigated. The effects of the carrier, substrate concentration, pH and temperature on the rate of the substrate conversion were studied also. The biotransformations were performed with a continuous or semicontinuous substrate supply. A convenient pathway for the formation of prednisolone is proposed on the basis of the results obtained.

Microstructured flow reactors are emerging tools for biocatalytic process development. A compelling design is that of the coated-wall reactor where enzyme is present as a surface layer attached to microchannel walls. However, preparation of a highly active wall biocatalyst remains a problem. Here, a stainless steel microreactor was developed where covalent immobilization of the enzyme in multiple linear flow channels of the reaction plate was supported by a macroporous wash-coat layer of gamma-aluminum oxide. Using surface functionalization with aminopropyl triethoxysilane followed by activation with glutardialdehyde, the thermophilic beta-glycosidase CelB from Pyrococcus furiosus was bound with retention of half of the specific activity of the free enzyme (800 U/mg), yielding a high catalyst loading of about 500 U/mL. This microreactor was employed for the continuous hydrolysis of lactose (100 mM) at 80 degrees C, providing a space-time yield of 500 mg glucose/(mL h) at a stable conversion of > or =70%. The immobilized enzyme displayed a half-life of 15 days under the operational conditions. Due to the absence of hydrophobic solute-material interactions, which limit the scope of microstructures fabricated from poly(dimethylsiloxane) for biocatalytic applications, the new microreactor was fully compatible with the alternate enzyme substrate 2-nitro-phenyl-beta-D-galactoside and the 2-nitro-phenol product resulting from its hydrolysis catalyzed by CelB.  相似文献

1. Two ribonucleases (aorta ribonuclease I and aorta ribonuclease II) from bovine aorta were purified 4611-fold and 667-fold respectively. Ethanolic precipitation, acid extraction, isoionic precipitation at pH3.5 and Bio-Rex 70 column chromatography were the methods employed. 2. Aorta ribonuclease I exhibited no deoxyribonuclease or alkaline phosphatase activity. 3. Aorta ribonuclease I appeared to be homogeneous when subjected to discontinuous gel electrophoresis. 4. Aorta ribonuclease II exhibited the same properties as aorta ribonuclease previously isolated. 5. The activities of the aorta ribonucleases and pancreatic ribonuclease on homopolymers and dinucleoside phosphates were compared. 6. Aorta ribonuclease I exhibited optimum pH7.5 and, under the assay conditions used, optimum temperature 60 degrees .  相似文献

The epoxide hydrolase activity of Aspergillus niger was synthesized during growth of the fungus and was shown to be associated with the soluble cell fraction. An enzyme preparation was worked out which could be used in place of the whole mycelium as biocatalyst for the hydrolysis of epoxides. The effect of four different cosolvents on enzyme activity was investigated. Consequently, dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) was selected for epoxide solubilization. The effect of temperature on both reaction rate and enzyme stability was studied in the presence of DMSO (0.2 volume ratio). A temperature of 25 degrees C was selected for the reaction of bioconversion. With a substrate concentration of 4.5 mM a batch reactor showed that the enzyme preparation hydrolyzed para-nitrostyrene oxide with very high enantioselectivity. The (S) enantiomer of the epoxide remained in the reaction mixture and showed an enantiomeric excess higher than 99%. The substrate concentration could be increased to 20 mM without affecting the enantiomeric excess and degree of conversion. Therefore, the method is potentially useful for the preparative resolution of epoxides. Application are in the field of chiral synthons which are important building blocks in organic synthesis.

Experimental and theoretical studies are conducted to understand the dynamic behavior of a continuous-flow fixed-bed reactor in which an esterification is catalyzed by an immobilized enzyme in an organic solvent medium. The experimental system consists of a commercial immobilized lipase preparation known as Lipozyme as the biocatalyst, with propionic acid and isoamyl alcohol (dissolved in hexane) as the reaction substrates. A complex dynamic behavior is observed experimentally as a result of the simultaneous occurrence of reaction and adsorption phenomena. Both propionic acid and water are adsorbed by the biocatalyst resulting in lower reaction rates. In addition, an excessive accumulation of water in the reactor leads to a rapid irreversible inactivation of the enzyme. A model based on previously-obtained adsorption isotherms and kinetic expressions, as well as on adsorption rate measurements obtained in this work, is used to predict the concentration and thermodynamic activity of water along the reactor length. The model successfully predicts the dynamic behavior of the reactor and shows that a maximum thermodynamic activity of water occurs at a point at some distance from the reactor entrance. A cation exchange resin in sodium form, packed in the reactor as a selective water adsorbent together with the catalyst particles, is shown to be an effective means for preventing an excessive accumulation of water formed in the reaction. Its use results in longer cycle times and greater productivity. As predicted by the model, the experimental results show that the water adsorbed on the catalyst and on the ion exchange resin can be removed with isoamyl alcohol with no apparent loss in enzyme activity.  相似文献

The dynamic behavior of batch and fixed-bed adsorptive reactors is studied for the enzyme-catalyzed regioselective esterification of propionic acid and 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol in hexane. The reaction is equilibrium-limited with an apparent equilibrium constant of 0.6 +/- 0.1 at 22 degrees C. Moreover, accumulation of water produced in the reaction onto the biocatalyst causes a decrease in the catalytic activity. As a result, improvements in both reaction rate and final conversion can be achieved by operating in an adsorptive-reactor mode. Control of water in the reactor is achieved with a catalytically inert ion-exchange resin in Na-form. The resin prevents an excessive accumulation of water on the biocatalyst and reduces equilibrium limitations. The thermodynamic activity of water is identified as a key parameter for the design of such reactors. A mathematical model capable of predicting the water activity as a function of the varying concentrations of reactants and products is thus developed and found to successfully predict the experimental behavior observed in laboratory reactors. Substantial improvements in performance predicted by the model are seen experimentally in batch reactions and during the transient operation of continuous-flow fixed-bed reactors combining adsorptive and catalytic functions.  相似文献

A thermostable D-hydantoinase from Bacillus stearothermophilus SD-1 was previously mass-produced by batch cultivation of the recombinant E. coli harboring the gene encoding the enzyme (Lee et al., 1997). In this work, we attempted to optimize the process for the production of N-carbamoyl-D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine, which is readily hydrolyzed to D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine under acidic conditions, from 5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)hydantoin using the mass-produced D-hydantoinase. In an effort to overcome the low solubility of the substrate, enzyme reaction was carried out in a heterogeneous system consisting of a high substrate concentration up to 300 g/L. In this reaction system, most of substrate is present in suspended particles. Optimal temperature and pH were determined to be 45 degrees C and 8.5, respectively, by taking into account the reaction rate and conversion yield. When the free enzyme was employed as a biocatalyst, enzyme loading higher than 300 unit/g-substrate was required to achieve maximum conversion. Use of whole cell enzyme resulted in maximum conversion even at lower enzyme loadings than the free enzyme, showing 96% conversion yield at 300 g/L substrate. The heterogeneous reaction system used in this work might be applied to the enzymatic production of other valuable compounds from a rarely water-soluble substrate.  相似文献

Optically active (R)-alpha-monobenzoyl glycerol (MBG) was synthesized by Candida antarctica lipase B (CHIRAZYME L-2) catalyzed asymmetric esterification of glycerol with benzoic anhydride in organic solvents. Various conditions, such as the type and composition of the organic solvent, water content of the system, reaction temperature, and concentrations of the substrates were systematically examined and optimized in screw-capped test tubes with respect to both the reaction rate and the enzyme selectivity. 1,4-Dioxane was found to be the best solvent and no additional water was needed for the system. The optimum temperature was around 30 degrees C, while the most suitable substrate concentrations were 100 mM each for glycerol and benzoic anhydride, respectively. However, when excessive anhydride (e.g., 200 mM) was used, the produced MBG could be further transformed into 1,3-dibenzoyl glycerol (DBG) by the same enzyme with a priority to (S)-MBG, resulting in a significant improvement of the product optical purity from ca. 50-70% e.e. Under optimal conditions (100 mM glycerol, 100-200 mM benzoic anhydride, dioxane, 25-30 degrees C), the enzymatic synthesis of (R)-MBG was successfully operated in a packed-bed reactor for about 1 week, with an average productivity of 0.79 g MBG/day/g biocatalyst in the case of continuous operation and 0.94 g MBG/day/g biocatalyst in the case of semicontinuous operation. After refinement and preferential crystallization of the crude product, (R)-MBG could be obtained in an almost optically pure form (>98% e.e.).  相似文献

Galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) are formed from lactose in discontinuous mode of conversion using beta-galactosidase from Lactobacillus sp. (beta-gal). The discontinuous process was optimized for technical application with regard to GOS yield, enzyme preparation, reaction temperature and substrate source. It proved to be advantageous to directly apply the crude cell-free enzyme extract for the conversion, since similar GOS yields and composition were obtained as when using the pure enzyme preparation, but expensive purification could be avoided. Reaction temperature was lowered to 17 degrees C to limit microbial contamination when using technical substrates. Thereby GOS yield decreased from 30% to 28% of total sugars and enzyme demand increased 2.7-fold. Whey permeate was compared to buffered lactose solution as a substrate source. The initial reaction rate was found to be 1.8 times higher for the whey permeate substrate; however, GOS yield was slightly lower (approximately 25% of total sugar at 17 degrees C) mainly due to smaller amounts of allolactose[beta-D-Galp-(1-->6)-D-Glc] and the trisaccharide beta-D-Galp-(1-->6)-D-Lac formed.  相似文献

Enzymatic gas-phase reactions are usually performed in continuous reactors, and thus very stable and active catalysts are required to perform such transformations on cost-effective levels. The present work is concerned with the reduction of gaseous acetophenone to enantiomerically pure (R)-1-phenylethanol catalyzed by solid alcohol dehydrogenase from Lactobacillus brevis (LBADH), immobilized onto glass beads. Initially, the catalyst preparation displayed a half-life of 1 day under reaction conditions at 40 degrees C and at a water activity of 0.5. It was shown that the observed decrease in activity is due to a degradation of the enzyme itself (LBADH) and not of the co-immobilized cofactor NADP. By the addition of sucrose to the cell extract before immobilization of the enzyme, the half-life of the catalyst preparation (at 40 degrees C) was increased 40 times. The stabilized catalyst preparation was employed in a continuous gas-phase reactor at different temperatures (25-60 degrees C). At 50 degrees C, a space-time yield of 107 g/L/d was achieved within the first 80 h of continuous reaction.  相似文献
