    Notes: A valine-overproducing mutant (MA7040, Streptomyces hygroscopicus) was found to produce 1.5 to 2.0 g/L of the immunoregulant, L-683,590, at the 0.6 m3 fermentation scale in a simple batch process using soybean oil and ammonium sulfate-based GYG5 medium. Levels of both lower (L-683,795) and higher (HH1 and HH2) undesirable homolog levels were controlled adequately. This batch process was utilized to produce broth economically at the 19 m3 fermentation scale. Material of acceptable purity was obtained without the multiple pure crystallizations previously required for an earlier culture, MA6678, requiring valine supplementation for impurity control.Investigations at the 0.6 m3 fermentation scale were conducted, varying agitation, pH, initial soybean oil/ammonium sulfate charges, and initial aeration rate to further improve growth and productivity. Mid-cycle ammonia levels and lipase activity appeared to have an important role. Using mid-cycle soybean oil additions, a titer of 2.3 g/L of L-683,590 was obtained, while titers reached 2.7 g/L using mid-cycle soybean oil and ammonium sulfate additions. Both higher and lower homolog levels remained acceptable during this fed-batch process. Optimal timing of mid-cycle oil and ammonium sulfate additions was considered a critical factor to further titer improvements. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 60: 580-588, 1998.

    Lipase-enhanced activity in flavour ester reactions by trapping enzyme conformers in the presence of interfaces (1998)

    Notes: In order to improve the lipase-catalyzed synthesis of flavour esters, we have used the reported strategy of interfacial activation-based molecular (bio)imprinting [Mingarro et al. 1995. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 92: 3308], later called trapping in the presence of amphiphile interfaces (TPI) [Mingarro et al. 1996. Biochemistry 35: 9935]. Five lipases of fungal and mammalian origin typically used for esterification process have been explored to improve production by TPI treatment. A marked enhancement of enzymatic activity has been observed in all TPI-treated lipases assayed and the activation factor obtained was up to 90-fold. The dependence on chain length of acyl donors in the esterification of geranyl alcohol has been investigated, showing clear differences between activated and nonactivated lipase. The results indicate that this rational approach leads to conversion yields that are remarkably higher, not only than its counterpart pH-optimized control lipase, but also the “protected” lipase by conventional methods (lyoprotectans or salts). We propose this strategy as a promising tool to be used in more industrial biotransformations. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 59:122-127, 1998.

    Notes: The enzymatic synthesis of several sorbitol diesters whose HLB values are similar to those of monoglycerides (the largest single type of food-grade emulsifiers) has been studied. The procedure is carried out by the simple addition of the polyol to a solution of the fatty acid and is based on continuous precipitation of the diester formed at a low temperature. A solvent of relatively low toxicity (acetone) was used. Pure fatty acids of different chain lengths (lauric and caprylic acids) were employed. The procedure was also tested using the acids obtained from total hydrolysis of olive oil, as an example of industrial feedstocks of fatty acids.This synthesis strategy gave complete conversion of sorbitol and 〉95% yields of the corresponding 1,6-diesters. In addition, a strategy to reduce the reaction time is reported. The enzymatic procedure permits minimization of the solvent/sugar ratio because it does not require complete dissolution of the sugar in the organic solvent. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Water activity control: A way to improve the efficiency of continuous lipase esterification (1998)

    Notes: During continuous lipase-catalyzed oleic acid esterification by ethanol in n-hexane, the oleic acid conversion, initially at 95%, decreases to 20% after 2 h. This decrease is caused by the accumulation of the water produced in the course of the reaction in the packed-bed reactor (PBR). In order to improve the PBR efficiency, it is necessary to evacuate the water produced. In this study, different approaches have been tested to control the water content in the PBR during continuous esterification. The first approach consisted in improving the water solubility by increasing the reaction medium polarity. The addition of polar additives to n-hexane, the use of more polar solvents, and the use of solvent-free reaction medium were tested as a means to favor the water evacuation from the PBR. First of all, the use ofn-hexane supplemented with acetone (3 M) or 2-methyl-2-propanol (1 M) enabled the conversion to be maintained at higher values than those obtained in pure n-hexane. The replacement of n-hexane by a more polar solvent, like the 5-methyl-2-hexanone, resulted in the same effect. In all cases, conversions at steady-state were always less than 95%, as obtained in pure n-hexane. This is explained by a decrease in the enzyme activity due to the increase in the medium polarity. Nevertheless, an increase in enzyme quantity allowed 90% conversion to be maintained during 1 week using 3 M acetone amended n-hexane. Good results (a steady-state conversion of about 80%) were obtained when esterification was carried out in a solvent-free reaction medium containing 2 M 2-methyl-2-propanol as a polar additive. The second approach consisted in the evaporation of the accumulated water by use of an intermittent airflow. Although this process did not enable constant esterification rate to be maintained, it did enable the initial conversion (95%) to be restored intermittently. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Semipurified lipase of Candida rugosa (CRSL) was subjected to chemical modification, and the activities of the modified lipase, in hydrolysis and esterification reactions, were examined. The esterification reactions were carried out in the absence and presence of isooctane. When the enzyme was modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG), two methodologies were studied. The activation of PEG with p-NO2-phenylchloroformate gives better biocatalysts than those obtained with cyanuric chloride-PEG. The chemical modification with PEG increases the stability of pure lipases in isooctane at 50°C (extreme conditions). The chemically modified enzymes are useful for biotransformations in organic solvents. In addition the nitration of tyrosines with tetranitromethane was also studied. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Properties of free and immobilized lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia (1997)

    Notes: The purified lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia (PS, Amano) was immobilized on a commercially available microporous polypropylene support. The enzyme was rapidly and completely adsorbed on the support. Special attention was devoted to the demonstration of the lack of diffusional limitations, either internal or external, when a soluble substrate (p-nitrophenylacetate, pNPA) was used. The activity yield was high (100%) with pNPA and very low (0.4%) with p-nitrophenylpalmitate (pNPP). These values clearly showed that the immobilized enzyme was fully active as soon as activity was assayed on a soluble substrate rather than an insoluble one. With the latter one, the low activity was due mainly to a slow rate of substrate diffusion inside the porous support. The same diffusional phenomenon could explain the complete change of fatty acid specificity of the immobilized lipase. After immobilization, the lipase was mainly specific for short chain fatty acid esters, whereas the free enzyme was mainly specific for long chain esters. The activity-versus-temperature profiles were not greatly affected by immobilization with maximal reaction rates in the range 45° to 50°C for both enzyme preparations. However, immobilization increased enzyme stability mainly by decreasing the sensitivity to temperature of the inactivation reaction. Half-lives at 80°C were 11 and 4 min for the immobilized and free enzymes, respectively. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 56: 181-189, 1997.

    Notes: Sorbitan esters were prepared by controlled dehydration of sorbitol followed by lipase-catalyzed esterification of the resulting “sorbitan.” The reaction was carried out in azeotropic mixtures of tert-butanol/n-hexane. A partial phase diagram to determine the temperature required for the distillation of the azeotrope at a given ratio of the solvents was constructed. The effect of varying concentrations of the two solvents on the rate of esterification and the monoester/diester ratio of the final product was investigated in detail. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A novel preparation method for surfactant-lipase complexes has been developed utilizing water in oil emulsions. In order to optimize the preparation conditions, we have investigated the effects of several operational parameters on the enzymatic activity of the surfactant-lipase complexes in organic media. When a nonionic surfactant was employed under optimal preparation conditions [alkaline pH 8-10, organic/aqueous = 90/10 (v/v), concentration of surfactant, 10 mM[, the surfactant-lipase complex efficiently catalyzed the esterification of benzyl alcohol with lauric acid in organic media. The esterification rate of the surfactant-lipase complex was increased over 16-fold relative to the native powder lipase. Furthermore, the lipase complex showed high storage stability. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 55: 455-460, 1997.

    Notes: Chromobacterium viscosum (CV) lipase was immobilized in gelatin-containing Aerosol-OT (AOT) microemulsion-based organogels (MBGs). The behavior of this novel, predominantly hydrophobic matrix as an esterification catalyst has been examined. The biocatalyst was most effective when the MBG was granulated to yield gel particles of ∼500 μm diameter, providing a total surface area of ca. 106 mm2 per 10 cm3 of gel. The gel was generally contacted with a solution of the substrate(s) in a hydrocarbon oil. Under most conditions reaction was not diffusion limited. Apparent lipase activity was influenced by certain compositional changes in the MBG, but most significantly when the R value, the mole ratio of water to surfactant, was altered. Higher activities were observed at lower R values. Although gels of lowest R value expressed the highest condensation activity, such formulations were physically unsuitable as immobilization matrices due to their proximity to the gel-solution phase boundary. MBGs of intermediate R values (between 60 and 80) were considered most suitable because they offer relatively high condensation activity and good physical stability. The gelatin concentration also exerted a small but measurable influence on the observed condensation rates. Apparent lipase activity was also influenced to some extent by the nature of the parent hydrocarbon used to prepare the MBG. Higher activities were obtained using formulations derived from isooctane and cyclohexane rather than the n-alkanes. Condensation activities expressed by CV lipase in the MBGs were broadly comparable to those expressed in the analogous parent water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsions. The MBGs functioned effectively in neat substrate solutions, but the condensation activity expressed by the MBGs in a series of successive batch syntheses was adversely affected by the formation and retention of the water coproduct. Selective removal of the water was achieved using a concentrated solution of dry reverse micelles, which resulted in recovery of lost activity. Pretreatment of lipase-containing MBGs resulted in the formation of MBGs with enhanced catalytic properties and modified composing the conventional procedure. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The water activities (aw) of 13 salt hydrate pairs were determined from vapor pressure measurements; aw values for a subset were also estimated from a study of water transfer to isopropylether. The application of salt hydrates as water buffers was investigated in two models: (i) effect of hydration on the initial rate of subtilisincatalyzed transesterification of the nitrophenol ester of CBZ-alanine with butanol; and (ii) effect of hydrates on the equilibrium concentrations of reactants in the esterification of dodecanol and decanoic acid, catalyzed by lipase. Transfer of ions from salt to enzyme particles was also demonstrated. The implications of the results for the successful use of salt hydrates as water buffers are discussed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Biotechnol Bioeng 55: 367-374, 1997.

    Lipase kinetics in organic-water solvent with amphipathic substrate for chiral reaction (1997)

    Notes: Lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia was used for asymmetric hydrolysis of the substrate (±)1-chloro-2-acetoxy-3-(1-naphthyloxy)-propane, which is a precursor for (S)-(-)-β-blocker synthesis. Because this substrate is insoluble in water and partially soluble in hydrophobic solvents such as hexane and octane, a mixture of hydrophilic organic solvents and aqueous buffer was used to study the initial reaction rates. Because of the amphipathic nature of the substrate, it can remain in three different forms: (1) monomeric (solution); (2) micellar; and (3) emulsion, depending on the acetone and substrate concentrations in the medium. This behavior is presented in a phase diagram. The enzyme was found to be active with micelle as well as emulsion form of the substrate, whereas it showed negligible activity with the monomeric form. Michaelis-Menten constants were determined experimentally for the emulsion and micellar part of the substrate. The initial rate of hydrolysis (v0) goes through a maximum with respect to the acetone content of the mixture. It is due to the combined effect of various factors occurring simultaneously with the increase in acetone content in the solvent. These phenomena are discussed based on the interfacial activation of lipase, deactivation of the enzyme at very high acetone concentration, and increase in critical micelle concentration (CMC) and critical emulsion concentration (CEC) with the increase in acetone content in the solvent. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Packed bed hollow fiber membrane reactors were used to carry out organic phase biocatalysis at constant water activity. The performance of the device was tested by carrying out the esterification of dodecanol and decanoic acid in hexane. Lipase from Candida rugosa, immobilized on microporous polypropylene and packed in the shell space of the reactor, was used to catalyze the reaction. In situ water activity control was accomplished by pumping appropriate saturated salt solutions through the microporous hollow fiber polypropylene membranes. Water generated by reaction in the organic phase, pumped continuously through the shell of the reactor, was transferred into the bulk of the aqueous phase under the water activity gradient. The reactor performance was found to be strongly dependent on the controlling water activity. By carefully selecting this control activity it was found possible to obtain complete esterification. The water activity of the organic phase could be maintained very close to that of the saturated salt solution used. The reactor could be operated in the continuous mode for 100 h without any degradation in its performance. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The acylation of several disaccharides by ethyl butanoate and ethyl dodecanoate was catalyzed by Candida antarctica lipase in tert-butyl alcohol, at temperatures ranging from 40° to 82°C (reflux temperature). The relative reaction rates of the various disaccharides were directly related to their solubility. The primary products were the monoesters derived from acylation of the primary alcohol groups. At higher conversions diesters were formed, and the ratio of diester to monoester was markedly dependent on the structure of the disaccharide. Thus, reaction of maltose with ethyl dodecanoate in refluxing tert-butyl alcohol afforded the 6′-monododecanoate even at high conversions. Trehalose, in contrast, afforded the 6,6′-diester. Acylation of the less soluble sucrose and lactose was much slower, but a moderate (37%) conversion of sucrose was observed after a prolonged reaction time (7 days). A number of other lipases and proteases were tested but C. antarctica lipase was unique in catalyzing the acylation of sucrose in refluxing tert-butyl alcohol. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: In the enantioselective esterification of racemic Naproxen with trimethylsilyl methanol in isooctane by Candida cylindracea lipase, improvements in (S)-naproxen ester productivity and enzyme selectivity were demonstrated by adding bis(2-ethylhexyl) sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT) as the best surfactant. The effect of water content on the enhancement of enzyme activity was elucidated from the reduced adsorption of surfactant molecules on the lipase. A competitive inhibition by the alcohol and a noncompetitive inhibition by the surfactant to the enzyme were found from the kinetic analysis. By using a two-phase extraction, a complete separation of the surfactant from the organic solution was obtained. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A purified lipase preparation from Candida rugosa was compared to its crude counterpart in anhydrous and slightly hydrated hydrophobic organic solvents. The purified lipase preparation was less active than the crude enzyme in dry n-heptane, whereas the presence of small concentrations of added water dramatically activated the purified enzyme but not the crude enzyme. Thus, in the presence of as little as 0.25 μL/mL of added water in n-heptane, the purified enzyme is over 230-fold more active and 6-fold more enantioselective than the dry enzyme suspension in the esterification of racemic 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid with n-butanol. The reactivity and selectivity of this biocatalyst, however, was affected by coalescence of the enzyme preparation suspended in the wet organic solvent. Engineering the biocatalyst environment by dissolving the purified lipase in aqueous buffer and then adding this solution to n-heptane resulted in a precipitated enzyme preparation with smaller particle sizes that did not coalesce severely. In the presence of 5 μL/mL of water added with the enzyme, this pretreatment resulted in an activation over the dry, purified enzyme preparation of over 1800-fold and nearly enantiospecific catalysis (E 〉 100). Hence, by simply modifying the way enzymes are hydrated, dramatic activation of catalytic competency can be achieved. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The question of whether lipases can be activated by adsorption onto an interface in organic solvents was addressed using Rhizomucor miehei lipase as a model. In aqueous solution, this enzyme was shown to undergo a marked interfacial activation. However, lipase (either lyophilized or precipitated from water with acetone) suspended in ethanol or 2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)ethanol containing triolein exhibited no jump in catalytic activity when the concentration of triolein exceeded its solubility in these solvents, thereby resulting in formation of an interface. To test whether the lack of interfacial activation was due to the insolubility of the enzyme in organic media, lipase was covalently modified with poly(ethylene glycol). The modified lipase, although soluble in nonaqueous media, was still unable to undergo interfacial activation, regardless of the hydrophobicity of the interface. This inability was found to be caused by the absence of adsorption of lipase onto interfaces in organic solvents, presumably because of the absence of the hydrophobic effect (the driving force of lipase adsorption onto hydrophobic interfaces in water) in such media. The uncovered lack of interfacial adsorption and activation suggests that the short α-helical “lid” covering the active center of the lipase remains predominantly closed in nonaqueous media, thus contributing to diminished enzymatic activity. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Lipase from Aspergillus niger was used for the selective hydrolysis of the 3-O-acetate of cephalosporin C to give an intermediate useful for further chemical elaborations. This lipase was purified to homogeneity and its properties compared with previously published data that present some discrepancies. The lipase proved to be very effective in catalyzing 3-O-acetate hydrolysis and versatile toward substitution on the β-lactamic ring. In fact, as an example, two other cephalosporinic derivatives, cephalotin and cefotaxime, were efficiently deacetylated. The lipase was immobilized on Eupergit C and employed continuously in either a column or a batch reactor for 2 months without appreciable loss of activity. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The rates of transesterification reactions catalyzed by the protease subtilisin Carlsberg suspended in various anhydrous solvents at 30°C can be increased more than 100-fold by the addition of denaturing organic cosolvents (dimethyl sulfoxide or formamide); in water, the same cosolvents exert no enzyme activation. At 4°C, the activation effect on the lyophilized protease is even higher, reaching 1000-fold. Marked enhancement of enzymatic activity in anhydrous solvents by formamide is also observed for two other enzymes, α-chymotrypsin and Rhizomucor miehei lipase, and is manifested in two transesterification reactions. In addition to lyophilized subtilisin, crosslinked crystals of subtilisin are also amenable to the dramatic activation by the denaturing cosolvents. In contrast, subtilisin solubilized in anhydrous media by covalent modification with poly(ethylene glycol) exhibits only modest activation. These observations are rationalized in terms of a mechanistic hypothesis based on an enhanced protein flexibility in anhydrous millieu brought about by the denaturing organic cosolvents. The latter exert their lubricating effect largely at the interfaces between enzyme molecules in a solid preparation, thus easing the flexibility constraints imposed by protein-protein contacts. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method has been developed to monitor on-line lipase-catalyzed esterification reactions without the need to sample the reaction medium. The technique, through 1H NMR, measures the concentrations of alcohol, ester, hydroxylic hydrogens in the organic phase, and hydroxylic hydrogens in the aqueous phase, if any. Also, the chemical shift evolution of the two types of hydroxylic hydrogens has been followed, providing information on water content of the organic phase and on the appearance of a distinct aqueous phase. As far as 13C NMR is concerned, it has been possible to measure, first the acid and the ester concentrations in the carbonyl region, and second, the alcohol and the ester concentrations in the methylene region. All 1H and 13C results are in agreement with one another. Furthermore, NMR allows for the choice of detection zone. Preliminary studies on the solid phase proved the presence of much more water in the solid phase than in the organic phase, and also gave evidence of the existence of two types of esters, one in the organic phase, mainly associated with the acid, and the other one not associated with the acid, most probably entrapped within the solid enzyme.

    Notes: The commercial application of lipases as biocatalysts for organic synthesis requires simple but efficient methods to immobilize the enzyme, yielding highly stable and active biocatalysts which are easy to recover. In this study, we present a novel method to achieve lipase immobilization by entrapment in chemically inert hydrophobic silica gels which are prepared by hydrolysis of alkyl-substituted silanes in the presence of the enzyme. A typical immobilization procedure uses: an aqueous solution of lipase; sodium fluoride as a catalyst; and additives like polyvinyl alcohol or proteins and alkoxysilane derivatives like RSi-(OMe)3 with R = alkyl, aryl, or alkoxy as gel precursors. The effect of various immobilization parameters like stoichiometric ratio of water, silane, type and amount of additive, type and amount of catalyst, and type of silane has been carefully studied. The new method is applicable for a wide variety of lipases, yielding immobilized lipases with esterification activities enhanced by a factor of up to 88, compared to the commercial enzyme powders under identical conditions. Studies on the stability of sol-gel immobilized lipases under reaction conditions or storage (dry, in aqueous or organic medium) revealed an excellent retention of enzymatic activity. The possible reasons for the increased enzyme activities are discussed. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Biosurfactants were prepared by enzymatic esterification of sugars and sugar alcohols in nonaqueous media. Sorbitol monooleate was produced in pure molten substrates, with reduced pressure to remove water. The results were compared to synthesis in organic solvent, with and without water removal. Synthesis in organic solvent with water removal, obtained by refluxing through a desiccant under reduced pressure, proved to be the most efficient method in terms of total yield and side-products formation. This process was applied to the production of different surfactants, by changing the nature of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic moieties. Yields above 90% of monoesters were obtained after 24 h when the reaction was carried out in 2-methyl-2-butanol with Novozym 435 (Type B lipase from Candida antarctica) with an excess of hydroxyl donor. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Several surfactant-coated enzymes have been prepared by coating lipases of various origins with a nonionic surfactant, glutamic acid dioleylester ribitol (2C18Δ9GE). Enzymatic interesterification of tripalmitin with oleic acid using the surfactant-coated lipase was carried out in organic media. The surfactant-coated lipases could effectively catalyze the interesterification of glycerides better than did the powder lipases. A suitable organic solvent was an aliphatic hydrocarbon such as isooctane. The enzymatic activity for the interesterification strongly depended on the origin of the lipase. The surfactant-coated lipase prepared by Mucor javanicus showed the highest enzymatic activity for the interesterification of glycerides, although its powder lipase did not show enzymatic activity. Selective interesterification of glycerides could be performed by adjusting the concentration ratio of oleic acid to tripalmitin in isooctane. Di-substituted glyceride could be selectively produced when the concentration ratio of carboxylic acid to glycerides was 7. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Chromobacterium viscosum (CV) lipase solubilized in water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsions based on the cationic surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) have been used for multigram-scale ester synthesis, including the kinetic resolution of a secondary alcohol. The stability of CV lipase in all the CTAB microemulsions studied was excellent and was superior to that observed in aqueous buffer at the same pH and temperature. Kinetic studies were performed using the synthesis of ethylhexadecanoate as a model reaction. Under pseudo-first-order conditions, the synthesis rates were linearlydependent on the enzyme and fatty acid concentrations and the R dependence shows the characteristic bell-shaped curve (where R = [H2O]/[surfactant]). The dependence of enzyme activity toward octyldecanoate synthesis on the pH of the dispersed buffer phase is in marked contrast to that observed for the pH dependence of CV lipase toward p-nitrophenylbutyrate hydrolysis. In the former case, the pH-activity profile is approximately sigmoidal, which may reflect the ionization state of the fatty acid substrate. In the latter case, the pH dependence is minimal at both R = 10 and R = 50, suggesting the enzyme does not experience a changed pH environment. Inclusion of a pH-sensitive probe molecule into those incubations containing fatty acid clearly demonstrates that the probe molecule experiences a changed environment consistent with that expected for the selected buffer. An in situ Fourier transform nuclear magnetic resonance (FT-NMR) assay has been developed which allows continuous monitoring of the esterification reactions, thereby providing an additional means of determining initial rates. The method may be of general value for lipase assays in microemulsions since it may provide, at the same time, information regarding enzyme regioselectivity. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The effect of the addition of sorbitol on the activity and stability of enzymes was examined by monitoring transesterification reactions performed in organic media at various water activities (aw = 0.08 to 0.97). Lipases from Chromobacterium viscosum and Candida rugosa immobilized on celite, and chymotrypsin, free or immobilized on celite, were used. When the sorbitol-containing enzymes were employed, higher reaction rates and less hydrolysis were observed. Immobilization of chymotrypsin resulted in high activity and operational stability, while the nonimmobilized enzyme was stable only in the presence of sorbitol. The activity of all preparations diminished after washing them with pyridine to remove sorbitol. Furthermore, severe stability problems occurred in the preparations lacking sorbitol. Sorbitol treatment, even after removal of the sorbitol itself, improved the activity of nonimmobilized chymotrypsin relative to the washed control. On the other hand, washing to remove sorbitol had a negative effect on the activity of both coimmobilized lipase and coimmobilized chymotrypsin. Addition of a substrate analogue, N-acetyl-L-phenylalanine, to chymotrypsin yielded a preparation that exhibited higher activity than both the control and its sorbitol-containing counterpart. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements revealed that the chymotrypsin-sorbitol complex was stable against thermal denaturation, undergoing transition at a high temperature (89°C). The transition temperatures of the substrate-containing chymotrypsin and of the control were identical (72°C). © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Structured modeling and state estimation in a fermentation process: Lipase production by Candida rugosa (1995)

    Notes: A simple structured mathematical model coupled with a methodology of state and parameter estimation is developed for lipase production by Candida rugosa in batch fermentation. The model describes the system according to the following qualitative observations and hypothesis: Lipase production is induced by extracellular oleic acid present in the medium. The acid is transported into the cell where it is consumed, transformed, and stored. Lipase is excreted to the medium where it is distributed between the available oil-water interphase and aqueous phase. Cell growth is modulated by the intracellular substrate concentration. Model parameters have been determined and the whole model validated against experiments not used in their determination. The estimation problem consists in the estimation of three state variables (biomass, intra- and extracellular substrate) and two kinetic parameters by using only the on-line measurement provided by exhaust gas analysis. The presented estimation strategy divides the complex problem into three subproblems that can be solved by stable algorithms. The estimation of biomass (X) and the specific growth rate (μ), is achieved by a recursive prediction error algorithm using the on-line measurement of the carbon dioxide evolution rate. μ is then used to perform an estimation of intracellular substrate and the other kinetic parameter related to substrate transport (A) by an adaptive observer. Extracellular substrate is then evaluated by means of the estimated values of intracellular substrate and biomass through the material balance of the reactor. Simulation and experimental tests showed good performance of the developed estimator, which appears suitable to be used for process control and monitoring. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The activity of purified Pseudomonas cepacia lipase has been investigated in esterification reactions of various aliphatic alcohols with natural fatty acids. The reactions were carried out in microemulsions formed in isooctane by bis-(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate sodium salt (AOT). Kinetic studies showed that the reaction follows a ping-pong bi-bi mechanism with inhibition by both substrates. The apparent kinetic parameters of the reaction were found to be Km octanol = 310 mM, Km lauric acid = 78 mM, and Vmax = 250 μmol min-1 mg-1. The same system was used for the synthesis of mono- and diglycerides from glycerol and lauric acid, which was successful at very low wo values. The catalytic behavior of P. cepacia lipase was also studied in esterification reactions performed in a nonionic microemulsion system formulated by tetraethyleneglycoldodecylether (C12E4). The optimum activity was found at about wo = 8. The apparent values of Vmax app and Km app for octanol were calculated and found to be 100 μmol min-1 mg-1 and 76 mM, respectively. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The performance of lipases from Candida rugosa and wheat germ have been investigated in three reaction media using three acetate hydrolyses as model reactions (ethyl acetate, allyl acetate, and prenyl acetate). The effect of substrate properties and water content were studied for each system (organic solvent, biphasic system, and reverse micelles). Not unexpectedly, the effect of water content is distinct for each system, and the optimal water content for enzyme activity is not always the same as that for productivity. A theoretical model has been used to simulate and predict enzyme performance in reverse micelles, and a proposed partitioning model for biphasic systems agrees well with experimental results. While the highest activities observed were in the micellar system, productivity in microemulsions is limited by low enzyme concentrations. Biphasic systems, however, support relatively good activity and productivity. The addition of water to dry organic solvents, combined with the dispersion of lyophilized enzyme powders in the solvent, resulted in significant enzyme aggregation, which not surprisingly limits the applicability of the “anhydrous” enzyme suspension approach. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: The esterification of a long-chain fatty acid was conducted using a nylon-immobilized lipase from Candida cylindracea in a nearly anhydrous, nonpolar organic medium, hexane. Butyl laurate was produced from lauric acid and n-butanol at a maximum initial reaction rate of 37 mmol/h. g immobilized enzyme when the substrates were present in equimolar amounts at an initial concentration of 0.5 mol/L. Lower rates were obtained using nonstoichiometric amounts of the substrates. The rate of reaction increased with temperature, reaching a maximum between 35 and 45°C and decreasing sharply at higher temperatures. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
