  • nocardia globerula nhb 2 nitrilase catalysed biotransformation of 4 cyanopyridine to isonicotinic acid
    AMB Express, 2012
    Co-Authors: Nitya Nand Sharma, Monica Sharma, Tek Chand Bhalla
    Abstract:

    Isonicotinic acid (INA) is an important pyridine derivative used in the manufacture of isoniazid (antituberculosatic drug) and other pharmaceutically important drugs. Nitrilase catalysed processes for the synthesis of pharmaceutically important acids from their corresponding nitriles are promising alternative over the cumbersome, hazardous, and energy demanding chemical processes. Nitrilase of Nocardia globerula NHB-2 (NitNHB2) is expressed in presence of isobutyronitrile in the growth medium (1.0% glucose, 0.5% peptone, 0.3% beef extract, and 0.1 % yeast extract, pH 7.5). NitNHB2 hydrolyses 4-cyanopyridine (4-CP) to INA without accumulation of isonicotinamide, which is common in the reaction catalysed via fungal nitrilases. The NitNHB2 suffers from substrate inhibition effect and hydrolysing activity up to 250 mM 4-CP was recorded. Complete conversion of 200 mM 4-CP to INA was achieved in 40 min using resting cell concentration corresponding to 10 U mL-1 nitrilase activity in the reaction. Substrate inhibition effect in the fed batch reaction (200 mM substrate feed/40min) led to formation of only 729 mM INA. In a fed batch reaction (100 mM 4-CP/20min), substrate inhibition effect was encountered after 7th feed and a total of 958 mM INA was produced in 400 min. The fed batch reaction scaled up to 1 L and 100% hydrolysis of 700 mM of 4-CP to INA at 35°C achieved in 140 min. The rate of INA production was 21.1 g h-1 mgDCW-1. This is the fastest biotransformation process ever reported for INA production with time and space productivity of 36 g L-1 h-1 using a bacterial nitrilase.

  • an improved nitrilase mediated bioprocess for synthesis of nicotinic acid from 3 cyanopyridine with hyperinduced nocardia globerula nhb 2
    Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2011
    Co-Authors: Nitya Nand Sharma, Monica Sharma, Tek Chand Bhalla
    Abstract:

    Nitrilase of Nocardia globerula NHB-2 was induced by short-chain aliphatic nitriles (valeronitrile > isobutyronitrile > butyronitrile > propionitrile) and exhibited activity towards aromatic nitriles (benzonitrile > 3-cyanopyridine > 4-cyanopyridine > m-tolunitrile > p-tolunitrile). Hyperinduction of nitrilase (6.67 U mgDCW−1, 18.7 U mL−1) was achieved in short incubation time (30 h, 30°C) through multiple feeding of isobutyronitrile in the growth medium. The nitrilase of this organism exhibits both substrate and product inhibition effects. In a fed batch reaction at 1 L scale using hyperinduced resting cells corresponding to 10 U mL−1 nitrilase activity (1.5 mgDCW mL−1), a total of 123.11 g nicotinic acid was produced at a rate of 24 g h−1 gDCW−1.

  • Generation of mutant of Rhodococcus rhodochrous PA-34 through chemical mutagenesis for hyperproduction of nitrile hydratase.
    Acta microbiologica et immunologica Hungarica, 2010
    Co-Authors: Amit Pratush, Amit Seth, Tek Chand Bhalla
    Abstract:

    Rhodococcus rhodochrous PA-34 has been reported to produce nitrile hydratase enzyme that converts 3-cyanopyridine to nicotinamide. A mutant of R. rhodochrous PA-34 was generated through chemical mutagenesis using N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) that exhibited 2 times higher nitrile hydratase activity as compared to wild strain. The reaction conditions using resting cells of this mutant strain for the conversion of nicotinamide were optimized. Under the optimized reaction conditions the mutant strain exhibited maximum nitrile hydratase activity [7.8 U/mgdcm (milligram dry cell mass)] at 55 °C in 0.3 M potassium phosphate buffer (pH 5.5).

    Abstract:

    Abstract The intracellular nitrilase of Nocardia globerula NHB-2 induced by propionitrile catalyses the hydrolysis of 3-cyanopyridine to nicotinic acid without detectable formation of nicotinamide. N. globerula NHB-2 showed highest conversion rate at 40 mM 3-cyanopyridine, in 0.1 M NaH 2 PO 4 /Na 2 HPO 4 buffer (pH 7.5) containing 5 mM 2-mercaptoethanol. In 1 l fed-batch reaction, containing 0.1 M NaH 2 PO 4 /Na 2 HPO 4 buffer (pH 7.5), 4.2 g resting cells (dry weight), at 35 °C, 400 rpm, a total of 1 mol of 3-cyanopyridine added at feed rate of 0.12 mol h −1 was converted to nicotinic acid (98.6%) in 9 h. The rate of nicotinic acid production was 26 mmol h −1  g −1 DW.
