摘要:
Alternative process for obtaining 6-aminopenicillanic acid. The process comprises replacing the stages of extraction with organic solvents and isolation and separation of the intermediate penicillin salt as a solid by a process of ultrafiltration of the culture broth in at least 2 successive stages. The first stage has a cut-off for molecular weights of 20,000 Dalton and the second, 2000 Dalton. Subsequent to the enzyme conversion stage the products from that stage are subjected to a series of anionic exchange chromatography steps. ##STR1##
摘要:
Process for producing the enzyme D-amino acid oxydase of Rhodotorula gracilis in host cells. The process for the expression of the enzyme comprises isolating the complementary DNA corresponding to the messager RNA of the gene which codes for the D-amino acid oxydase of any strain of Rhodotorula gracillis producing said enzyme; fusing the fragment of DNA which codes for D-amino acid oxydase of Rhodotorula gracillis with a DNA sequence which contains a site of union to the ribosome and a high efficiency promoter sequence for the express of genes in host cells; inserting the DNA fragment into a plasmid appropriate for the host cell; cultivating the host cells transformed with said plasmid; and collecting the enzyme.
摘要:
Process for purifying 7-substituted aminodeacetoxycephalosporins through the use of filter membranes. A process for purification by ultrafiltration and/or nanofiltration with a cut-off for molecular weights over 10,000 Dalton and preferably over 2000 Dalton is described. For example cephalosporin-G of increased purity, represented by a 6-8% increase in the HPLC titre, with a reduction of 50% in absorbance, is obtained using this technique. The invention makes it possible for the purified products to be used directly in the synthesis of other antibiotic compounds without the need for intermediate isolation. ##STR1##
摘要:
A procedure for producing a modified 7.beta.-(4-carboxybutanamide) cephalosporinase enzyme which can be purified in a single chromatographic step. The procedure for production of the enzyme involves: mutagenizing the gene which codes for the enzyme from Acinetobacter sp. ATCC 53891 by inserting a nucleotide sequence coding for six histidine residues; fusing the mutant gene with high-efficiency promoter DNA sequences; transforming Escherichia coli cells with the fusion gene construct; growing the transformed Escherichia coli cells; and recovering the enzyme by the use of supports which contain metal chelates. 7-Aminocephalosporanic acid is an important intermediate for the manufacture of a wide range of antibacterial agents of the cephalosporin family.
摘要:
A batch fermentation is carried out continuously or semicontinuously using strain of Streptomyces clavuligerus for the production of clavulanic acid. The fermentation process is carried out with strict control of the soluble phosphate in the medium both at the beginning and throughout the process.
