摘要: The genes encoding a thermally stable and regio-selective nitrile hydratase (NHase) an amidase from Comamonas testosteroni 5-MGAM-4D have been cloned sequenced, active NHase has over-produced in Escherichia coli. Maximal activity requires co-expression of small open reading frame immediately downstream the beta subunit gene. Compared to native organism, E. coli biocatalyst nearly threefold more on dry cell weight basis, this is significantly stable. In addition, converts wide spectrum substrates corresponding amides. Such versatility robustness are desirable attributes intended for use commercial applications.
