A process for the production (in a stirred tank reactor) of glutaryl-7-ACA from cephalosporin C using immobilized D-amino acid oxidase is described. Results so obtained under optimal conditions (1.2 mg coupled enzyme/L, pH 8.5, 2 mM cephalosporin C) point to a system which shows high conversion efficiency and a remarkable operational stability. No exogenous H202 is requested to shift the reaction equilibrium toward glutaryl-7-ACA production, nor any side product is detected. The immobilized system productivity was 54 g/day/mg of enzyme. This process represents the first reported case of a reactor successfully developed with a DAAO for bioconversion of cephalosporin C.
The study reports on the development of a bioreactor for the production of alpha-keto acids from D,L- or D-amino acids using Rhodotorula gracilis D-amino acid oxidase. D-amino acid oxidase was co-immobilized with catalase on Affi-Gel 10 matrix, and the reactor was operated as a continuous-stirred tank reactor (CSTR) or stirred tank with medium recycling conditions. The optimum substrate concentration and quantity of biocatalyst were determined (5 mM and 1.2 mg/L, respectively). Under optimum operating conditions, product formation was linearly related to both substrate and enzyme concentration, showing the system to be highly flexible. Under these conditions, in a stirred tank, over 90% conversion was achieved in 30 min with a maximum production of 0.23 g of pyruvic acid/day/enzyme units. Product was recovered by ion exchange chromatography. The operational stability of the reactor was high (up to 9.5 h of operation without loss of activity) and the inactivation half-life was not reached even after 18 h or 36 bioconversion cycles. This represents the first case of a reactor developed successfully with a D-amino acid oxidase.
