Abstract: | Immobilized whole cells of Clostridium butyricum reduced both NAD(+) and NADP(+) in the presence of hydrogen at a pressure of 100 atm. The NAD(+) and NADP(+) reduction activities were 4.45 and 4.30 U/g dry cells, respectively U = NAD(P)H regenerated, mu mol/min]. The amount of NADH regenerated by immobilized cells increased with increasing hydrogen pressure above 10 atm. Immobilized cells (6 mg dry cells) of Cl. butyricum completely converted NAD(+) (6.4 mumole) to NADH for 5 h, whereas only 60% of NAD(+) were reduced by free cells. Immobilized cells retained 89% activity after the 5-h reactions were repeated 4 times. L-Alanine was continuously produced at the rate of 12.8 mumol/min g dry cells from hydrogen, ammonium, and pyruvate with immobilized Cl. butyricum-alanine dehydrogenase. |
