title: Analysis of selective production of Nalpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-aminoadipate-delta-semialdehyde and Nalpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-aminoadipic acid by Rhodococcus sp. AIU Z-35-1.
abstract: The factors for selective production of N(alpha)-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-aminoadipate-delta-semialdehyde (N(alpha)-Z-L-AASA) and N(alpha)-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-aminoadipic acid (N(alpha)-Z-L-AAA) from N(alpha)-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine (N(alpha)-Z-L-lysine) by Rhodococcus sp. AIU Z-35-1 were analyzed. The cultivation time was important for selective production of N(alpha)-Z-L-AASA, since N(alpha)-Z-L-lysine oxidizing enzyme reached maximum at the early stage of cell growth and then decreased. The differences of enzyme activities of N(alpha)-Z-L-lysine oxidizing enzyme and N(alpha)-Z-L-AASA dehydrogenase in pH and temperature also affected the selective production of N(alpha)-Z-L-AASA. For efficient production of N(alpha)-Z-L-AAA, it was important for cultivation time that N(alpha)-Z-L-AASA dehydrogenase activity be higher than N(alpha)-Z-L-lysine oxidizing enzyme activity, since a high concentration of N(alpha)-Z-L-AASA inhibited N(alpha)-Z-L-AASA dehydrogenase activity. The optimum pH of N(alpha)-Z-L-AAA production was affected by the instability of N(alpha)-Z-L-AASA dehydrogenase in the alkaline pH region.
