    Notes: Abstract The new enzyme phenylalanine dehydrogenase [L-phenylalanine: NAD+-oxidoreductase (deaminating)] was detected in the crude extract of a strain of Brevibacterium spec. The bacterium was isolated from a soil sample by enrichment with phenylalanine. This strain was the only one containing phenylalanine dehydrogenase out of 173 tested strains, among them 22 of the genus Brevibacterium, 74 strains from soil samples and 77 strains from a culture collection belonging to several genera. The enzyme is involved in the degradation of phenylalanine and could be induced by addition of L-, D-, D,l-phenylalanine or L-histidine, the optimum inducer concentration of phenylalanine being 1%. The reaction mechanism of a reductive amination was confirmed by demonstrating the close coupling between NADH-consumption and phenylalanine production; ammonia could not be replaced by L-glutamate or L-aspartate as amino donor. The α-keto acid of L-tyrosine was converted too, while the corresponding compound of histidine was inactive. The optimum pH value for reductive amination in the crude extract was 8.5 and for oxidative desamination 10.5.

    Notes: Abstract Expanded bed adsorption (EBA) is an integrated technology for the primary recovery of proteins from unclarified feedstock. A method is presented which allows a qualitative and quantitative understanding of the main mechanisms governing the interaction of biomass with fluidised resins. A pulse response technique was used to determine the adsorption of various cell types (yeast, Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, mammalian cells and yeast homogenate) to a range of commercially available matrices for EBA. Cells and cell debris were found to interact with the ligands of agarose based resins mainly by electrostatic forces. From the adsorbents investigated the anion exchange matrix showed the most severe interactions, while cation exchange and affinity adsorbents appeared to be less affected. Within the range of biologic systems under study E. coli cells had the lowest tendency of binding to all matrices while hybridoma cells attached to all the adsorbents except the protein A affinity matrix. The method presented may be employed for screening of suitable biomass/adsorbent combinations, which yield a robust and reliable initial capture step by expanded bed adsorption from unclarified feedstock.

    Notes: Summary Production, purification and characterization of the NAD(H)-dependent d-mandelate dehydrogenase from Lactobacillus curvatus was studied. An enzyme level of about 150 U/1 could be obtained by anaerobic cultivation in liquid broth. The specific enzyme activity in the crude extract was 1—3 U/mg. Purification by liquidliquid extraction and ion exchange chromatography led to a preparation of 2100 U/mg. The molecular weight of the enzyme was determined to be 60000 (gel filtration on Superose S12) containing two subunits of 30000. A variety of aliphatic and aromatic α-keto acids are accepted as substrates by the mandelate dehydrogenase, for the substrate benzoylformate a Michaelis constant of 2·10-4M was measured. Cu2+-ions and mercury compounds such as HgCl2 or p-chloromercuribenzoate are strong inhibitors at concentrations of 0.1 mM. An unoptimized continuous conversion in an enzyme-membrane-reactor demonstrated that the enzyme could be applied for the stereospecific synthesis of d-mandelic acid.

    Notes: Summary To initiate studies of the stereospecific reduction of pyruvate and phenylpyruvate to the corresponding d-2-hydroxyacids a limited screening was carried out for microorganisms possessing a high NADH-dependet d-lactate dehydrogenase activity. Lactobacillus confusus was found to produce the desired dehydrogenase, which showed also relatively high activity towards phenylpyruvate, so this strain was selected for large scale production of the enzyme. A procedure for large scale purification of the enzyme starting with 24 kg wet cells is described including liquid-liquid extraction, ultrafiltration and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, yielding a catalyst with specific activities of 216 U×mg−1 for pyruvate reduction and 15 U×mg−1 for phenyl-pyruvate reduction. A further tenfold purification can be achieved by affinity chromatography on Blue-Sepharose C-6B. Parameters which are important for industrial application of the enzyme were determined: substrate specifity, pH and temperature optimum, temperature stability, stability at different pH-values, and the storage stability of the enzyme in crude extracts.

    Notes: Abstract In an extended screening using d,l-carnitine amide as carbon or nitrogen source about 1300 strains were obtained by enrichment culture. Of these, 65 strains possessed carnitine amidase activities. A single strain was identified as containing an enzyme able to hydrolyse only l-carnitine amide and yield carnitine of high enantiomeric purity (≥97) when incubated with the racemic substrate. During the initial optimisation of the culture conditions the volume activity could be improved 6.7-fold whereas the specific activity increased 3.6-fold. The enzyme is inducible by l-carnitine amide and carnitine and to a lesser degree also by λ-butyrobetaine and dehydrocarnitine. As judged by the fatty acids and quinone composition the strain belongs into the α-subgroup of purple bacteria but has not yet been classified by the German Culture Collection into a known genus of bacteria.

    Notes: Summary To develop a large-scale isolation of leucine dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.4.1.9) as industrial catalyst we carried out a limited screening for microorganisms with high leucine dehydrogenase activity. Conditions for the growth and enzyme formation of Bacillus sphaericus (DSM 396) which proved to be the best enzyme producer were optimized. The highest yield in volume and specific activity were obtained using glucose and yeast-extract in the medium. The highest specific enzyme activity was found at the end of the exponential growth phase. Cultivation of Bacillus sphaericus under optimal conditions increased the yield to about 3 U mg−1. The heat stability of the enzyme was exploited to develop a simple large-scale purification. Together with an ultrafiltration step, the enzyme could be enriched 9fold in a short time. After further purification using DE-cellulose an enzyme preparation (25fold enriched) was obtained; suitable as a technical catalyst in amino acid production.
