[Enzymatic conversion of cephalosporin C to glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid using whole cells of the yeast Trigonopsis variabilis FA10].
A process for the production of glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid (GL-7ACA) from cephalosporin C(CPC) using permeabilized cells of yeast Trigonopsis variabilis FA10 containing D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) is described. It was found that the bioconversion of CPC to GL-7ACA was interfered by the catalase activity presented in the cells that hydrolyzed the hydrogen peroxide and resulted in the accumulation of alpha-keto-adipyl-7-ACA (AKA-7ACA) and decrease of GL-7ACA yield. the methods to overcome this problem including the addition of extra H2O2 and use of catalase inhibitor, NaN3, were developed and the rate of GL-7ACA from CPC were 73% and 70.1%, respectively. Another alternative method was to incubate the permeabilized FA10 cells at pH10.5-11.0 for 30 minutes at 20 degrees C which served to selectively inactivate the catalase. In the bioconversion of CPC to GL-7ACA using pH10.5-treated cells without catalase activity, the high reaction yield of GL-7ACA(84%) was achieved.
