The nitrile hydratase (NHase, EC 3.5.5.1) activity of Rhodococcus rhodochrous PA-34 was explored for the conversion of 3-cyanopyridine to nicotinamide. The NHase activity (∼18 U/mg dry cell weight, dcw) was observed in 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 8.0 containing 1M 3-cyanopyridine as substrate, and 0.75 mg of resting cells (dry cell weight) per ml reaction mixture at 40°C. However, 25°C was more suitable for prolonged batch reaction at high substrate (3-cyanopyridine) concentration. In a batch reaction (1 liter), 7M 3-cyanopyridine (729 g) was completely converted to nicotinamide (855 g) in 12h at 25°C using 9.0 g resting cells (dry cell weight) of R. rhodochrous PA-34.
研究了红球菌(Rhodococcus rhodochrous)PA-34 的腈水合酶(NHase,EC 3.5.5.1)活性,以将 3-氰基吡啶转化为烟酰胺。在 0.1 M 磷酸盐缓冲液(pH 8.0)中,以 1 M 3-氰基吡啶为底物,每毫升反应混合物中含有 0.75 mg 休止细胞(干重),在 40°C 下观察到 NHase 活性(约 18 U/mg 干重)。然而,25°C 更适合在高底物(3-氰基吡啶)浓度下进行长时间分批反应。在分批反应(1 升)中,在 25°C 下,使用 9.0 g 红球菌(Rhodococcus rhodochrous)PA-34 的休止细胞(干重),12 小时内可将 7M 3-氰基吡啶(729 g)完全转化为烟酰胺(855 g)。
