Nitrilase of Nocardia globerula NHB-2 was induced by short-chain aliphatic nitriles (valeronitrile > isobutyronitrile > butyronitrile > propionitrile) and exhibited activity towards aromatic nitriles (benzonitrile > 3-cyanopyridine > 4-cyanopyridine > m-tolunitrile > p-tolunitrile). Hyperinduction of nitrilase (6.67 U mg (DCW) (-1), 18.7 U mL(-1)) was achieved in short incubation time (30 h, 30°C) through multiple feeding of isobutyronitrile in the growth medium. The nitrilase of this organism exhibits both substrate and product inhibition effects. In a fed batch reaction at 1 L scale using hyperinduced resting cells corresponding to 10 U mL(-1) nitrilase activity (1.5 mg(DCW) mL(-1)), a total of 123.11 g nicotinic acid was produced at a rate of 24 g h(-1) g (DCW) (-1).
球孢诺卡氏菌 NHB-2 的腈酶可被短链脂肪族腈(戊腈>异丁腈>丁腈>丙腈)诱导,且对芳香族腈(苯甲腈>3-氰基吡啶>4-氰基吡啶>间甲苯腈>对甲苯腈)具有活性。在生长培养基中多次补加异丁腈,可在短时间(30 h,30°C)内实现腈酶的超诱导(6.67 U mg(DCW)(-1),18.7 U mL(-1))。该酶表现出底物和产物抑制效应。在 1 L 规模的流加分批反应中,使用对应 10 U mL(-1)腈酶活性(1.5 mg(DCW)mL(-1))的超诱导静止细胞,以 24 g h(-1)g(DCW)(-1)的速率生产了 123.11 g 烟酸。
