Studies on Enzymatic Synthesis of Cephalexin by Immobilized Penicillin Acylase by Polyacrylonitrile Fibres
聚丙烯腈纤维固定化青霉素酰化酶合成头孢氨苄的研究

The extracellular penicillin acylase from Bacillus megaterium was immobilized by coupling to derivatives of polyacrylonitrile fibres. The apparent activity of the immobilized enzyme was about 153 U/g (wet weight). The optimal pH and temperature were 6.5 and 40 degrees C for synthesis of cephalexin by penicillin acylase, respectively. Whe the concentration of 7-ADCA was 4% and the ratio of PGME and 7-ADCA and 1:2, the average velocity of synthesis reaction was highest. The optimal supplied amount of immobilized penicillin acylase was 1.125 g/g 7-ADCA.. The apparent Michaelis constant for 7-ADCA was 0.162 mol/L and for PGME was 0.364 mol/L, Vmax was 0.0462 mol.L-1.min-1 at 30 degrees C and pH6.5. The remained activity was about 83.9% after operating 50 times.
