摘要:
The preparation of an L-amino acid, particularly valine, leucine, isoleucine, alanine and phenylalanine, from the corresponding .alpha.-keto carboxylic acid by bacterial fermentation in the presence of ammonium ions is carried out with the aid of thermophilic Bacillus strains at temperatures above 45.degree. C., in particular above 60.degree. C. Bacillus strains DSM 406, 452, 461, 42, 463, 465 and 466 are particularly suitable for this purpose. The greater solubility of the amino acid at the elevated fermentation temperature permits the separation out of the amino acid from the reaction mixture simply by cooling, whereafter the depleted reaction mixture can be pumped back into the fermenter. Especially favorable yields are achieved by supplying oxygen to the fermenter to an amount of less than about 20% dissolved oxygen.
摘要:
Water soluble .alpha.-ketocarboxylic acids are continuously converted in a membrane reactor into the corresponding aminoacids. The conversion takes place in the presence of a substrate specific dehydrogenase, of ammonium ions and of a nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide (NAD.sup.+ /NADH) enlarged in molecular weight through linkage to a water soluble polymer as coenzyme. Simultaneously NADH is regenerated continuously from NAD.sup.+ in presence of a formate dehydrogenase and from formate ion. The membrane must have a mean pore diameter of 1 to 3 nm. As coenzyme there is employed 0.1 to 10 mmol/l of NAD.sup.+ /NADH present bound to a polyoxyethylene having an average molecular weight between 500 and 50,000. There is continuously supplied to the reactor a substrate stream which contains 50 to 100% of the maximum amount soluble, but not over 2,000 mmol/l, of the reacting .alpha.-ketocarboxylic acid in the form of a water soluble salt, an ammonium ion in an amount about equimolar to the amount of substrate and 100 to 6,000 mmol/l of a formate. There is maintained over the membrane a differential pressure of 0.1 to 15 bar. There is continuously drawn off behind the membrane a filtrate stream containing the aminoacid formed.
摘要:
.alpha.-Hydroxycarboxylic acids are continuously converted into the corresponding optically active .alpha.- aminocarboxylic acids. The conversion is carried out in a membrane reactor in the presence of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide increased in molecular weight by bonding to a water soluble high molecular weight material, a dehydrogenase specific for the .alpha.-hydroxycarboxylic acid, a dehydrogenase specific for the corresponding .alpha.-amino-carboxylic acid and ammonium ions. There is continuously supplied to the membrane reactor an aqueous solution of the .alpha.-hydroxycarboxylic acid to be reacted, a substantially lesser amount of the corresponding .alpha.-ketocarboxy lic acid, and an amount of ammonium ion at least equivalent to the .alpha.-hydroxycarboxylic acid to be reacted. There is maintained over the membrane a difference in pressure 1 and 15 bar. Behind the membrane, there is continuously drawn off a filtrate stream containing the .alpha.-aminocarboxylic acid formed.

Water soluble .alpha.-ketocarboxylic acids are continuously converted in a membrane reactor into the corresponding .alpha.-hydrocarboxylic acids. The conversion takes place in the presence of a substrate specific dehydrogenase and of a nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide (NAD.sup.+ /NADH) enlarged in molecular weight through linkage to a water soluble polymer as coenzyme. Simultaneously NADH is regenerated continuously from NAD.sup.+ in presence of a formate dehydrogenase and from formate ion. The membrane must have a mean pore diameter of 1 to 3 nm.

摘要:
An animal feed supplement and processes for its production which provide an inexpensive, not excessively hygroscopic or sticky supplement amino acid whose content should be standardizable. The animal feed supplement is based on a fermentation broth and contains the predominant proportion of its contents, optionally with the exclusion of part of the biomass. The biomass is preferably present in an amount of at most 10% by weight in the dry state. Proteins are preferably present in a maximum amount of 10% by weight. For the production, the sugar content is adjusted to a maximum of 4 g/l during fermentation, at least towards the end thereof, and at least part of the biomass is optionally removed during the working up.
摘要:
The reaction mixture obtained in the enzymatic reaction of fumaric acid to form L-malic acid contains the L-malic acid and unreacted fumaric acid as their salts. To recover pure solutions of L-malic acid the reaction mixture is treated at 50.degree. to 150.degree. C. with cation exchangers. The eluate after concentration to 30 to 80 weight % content of L-malic acid is filtered. The pure L-malic acid is recovered by evaporating the solutions, in a given case after treatment with activated carbon.
