Loss of substrate, pyruvate, a limitation for enzymatic batch production of (R)-phenylacetylcarbinol (PAC), resulted from two phenomena: temperature dependent non-enzymatic concentration decrease due to the cofactor Mg2+ and formation of by-products, acetaldehyde and acetoin, by pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC). In the absence of enzyme, pyruvate stabilization was achieved by lowering the Mg2+ concentration from 20 to 0.5 mM. With 0.5 mM Mg2+ Rhizopusjavanicus and Candida utilis PDC produced similar levels of PAC (49 and 51 g 1(-1), respectively) in 21 h at 6 degrees C; however C. utilis PDC formed less by-product from pyruvate and was more stable during biotransformation. The process enhancements regarding Mg2+ concentration and source of PDC resulted in an increase of molar yield (PAC/consumed pyruvate) from 59% (R. javanicus PDC, 20 mM Mg2+) to 74% (R. javanicus PDC, 0.5 mM Mg2+) to 89% (C. utilis PDC, 0.5 mM Mg2+).
底物丙酮酸的损失是酶法分批生产(R)-苯基乙酰甲醇(PAC)的一个限制因素,这是由两种现象导致的:由于辅因子Mg2+导致温度依赖性的非酶促浓度降低,以及丙酮酸脱羧酶(PDC)产生副产物乙醛和乙偶姻。在没有酶的情况下,通过将Mg2+浓度从20 mM降低到0.5 mM可实现丙酮酸的稳定。在6℃下,使用0.5 mM Mg2+时,爪哇根霉和产朊假丝酵母的PDC在21小时内产生的PAC水平相似(分别为49和51 g L-1);然而,产朊假丝酵母的PDC从丙酮酸形成的副产物较少,并且在生物转化过程中更稳定。关于Mg2+浓度和PDC来源的工艺改进导致摩尔产率(PAC/消耗的丙酮酸)从59%(爪哇根霉PDC,20 mM Mg2+)提高到74%(爪哇根霉PDC,0.5 mM Mg2+),再提高到89%(产朊假丝酵母PDC,0.5 mM Mg2+)。
