Abstract

Reinforced Calcium-alginate gel entrappment method for enzyme immobilization is described with an example of penicillin amidase from Bacillus megaterium KFCC 10029, a partially constitutive mutant of B. megaterium ATCC 14945. Penicillin amidase recovered from the fermentation broth by adsorption on celite is mixed with alginate and gelatin solution, and cast into a pellet or noodle form by coagulation in calcium salt solution followed by crosslinking with glutaraldehyde. Optimum pH and temperature of the immobilized enzyme preparation were 8.0 and 6$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. Kinetic constants such as Km value and the inhibition constant of 6-APA and phenylacetic acid were 2.6 mM, 7.4 mM and 21.2 mM, respectively. The enzyme leakage from the adsorbent during operation was successfully prevented owing to the increase of physical strength of gel coat. The half lives in a column reactor were 6 and 30 days at the respective temperature of 4$0^{\circ}C$ and 3$0^{\circ}C$, which were the 6-8 fold increased values as compared with those of without entrappment. The results highly recommended the use of reinforced Calcium-alginate gel entrappment method for the enhancement of physical strength and the operational stability of alginate gel entrapped enzyme.

부분적 항상성변이주인 Bacillus megaterium (KFCC 10029)가 생산하는 페니실린 아미다제를 예로하여 강화된 $Ca^{++}$-alginate gel에 의한 포괄방법을 이용하는 효소 고정화 방법을 제시하였다. 발효액으로 부터 celite 흡착법에 의해 효소를 분리한 후 alginate의 gellatin용액에 혼합하고 $Ca^{++}$ 용액에서 응고시키고 glutaraldehyde로 처리하여 성형하였다. 이렇게 하여 얻은 고정화효소의 최적 pH 및 온도는 각각 8.0과 6$0^{\circ}C$였다. Km value 와 6-APA 및 페닐초산에 의한 저해 상수는 각각 2.6mM, 7.4mM, 21.2mM이었다. Gel의 증가된 물리적 강도 때문에 반응조 조작중 흡착효소의 유실을 성공적으로 없앨수 있었다. 관형식 반응조에서의 고정화 효소의 반감기는 4$0^{\circ}C$와 3$0^{\circ}C$에서 각각 6일 및 30일이었으며, 이것은 흡착효소와 비교해 볼 때 6-8배의 증가치이다. 결론적으로 alginate gel 포괄방법에 의한 효소고정화 방법에 있어, 본 연구에서 개발된 개량된 방법을 사용함으로써 고정화효소의 물리적 강도 및 안정도를 크게 증가시킬 수 있었다.
