Abstract: | Summary For the efficient production of l-alanine from ammonium fumarate using the aspartase activity of immobilized Escherichia coli cells and l-aspartate -decarboxylase activity of immobilized Pseudomonas dacunhae cells, alanine racemase and fumarase activities should be eliminated. We investigated various procedures to eliminate these side reactions, and found that both activities of intact E. coli cells could be eliminated by treating the culture broth at pH 5.0 and 45° C for 1 h, and those of intact P. dacunhae cells could be eliminated by treating the culture broth at pH 4.75 and 30° C for 1 h. Further, it was confirmed that l-alanine was efficiently produced using these two immobilized pH-treated microorganisms. |
