Abstract
In recent years, many biocatalytic processes have been developed for the production of chemicals and pharmaceuticals. In this context, enzyme immobilization methods have attracted attention for their advantages, such as continuous production and increased stability. Here, enzyme immobilization methods and a collection of nitrilases from biodiversity for the conversion of 3-cyanopyridine to nicotinic acid were screened. Substrate conversion over 10 conversion cycles was monitored to optimize the process. The best immobilization conditions were found with cross-linking using glutaraldehyde to modify the PMMA beads. This method showed good activity over 10 cycles in a batch reactor at 30 and 40°C. Finally, production with a new thermostable nitrilase was examined in a continuous packed bed reactor, showing very high stability of the biocatalytic process at a flow rate of 0.12 ml min-1 and a temperature of 50°C. The complete conversion of 3-cyanopyridine was obtained over 30 days of operation. Future steps will concern reactor scale-up to increase the production rate with reasonable pressure drops.

Purification and Characterization of Nit phym , a Robust Thermostable Nitrilase From Paraburkholderia phymatum. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2021; 9:686362. [PMID: 34277586 PMCID: PMC8280356 DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2021.686362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2021] [Accepted: 05/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Despite the success of some nitrilases in industrial applications, there is a constant demand to broaden the catalog of these hydrolases, especially robust ones with high operational stability. By using the criteria of thermoresistance to screen a collection of candidate enzymes heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli, the enzyme Nit phym from the mesophilic organism Paraburkholderia phymatum was selected and further characterized. Its quick and efficient purification by heat treatment is of major interest for large-scale applications. The purified nitrilase displayed a high thermostability with 90% of remaining activity after 2 days at 30°C and a half-life of 18 h at 60°C, together with a broad pH range of 5.5-8.5. Its high resistance to various miscible cosolvents and tolerance to high substrate loadings enabled the quantitative conversion of 65.5 g⋅L-1 of 3-phenylpropionitrile into 3-phenylpropionic acid at 50°C in 8 h at low enzyme loadings of 0.5 g⋅L-1, with an isolated yield of 90%. This study highlights that thermophilic organisms are not the only source of industrially relevant thermostable enzymes and extends the scope of efficient nitrilases for the hydrolysis of a wide range of nitriles, especially trans-cinnamonitrile, terephthalonitrile, cyanopyridines, and 3-phenylpropionitrile.

Abstract
A comprehensive series of optimization studies including pH, solvent and temperature were completed on the nitrile hydrolyzing Rhodococcus erythropolis bacterium SET1 with the substrate 3-hydroxybutyronitrile. These identified temperature of 25 °C and pH of 7 as the best conditions to retain enantioselectivity and activity. The effect of the addition of organic solvents to the biotransformation mixture was also determined. The results of the study suggested that SET1 is suitable for use in selected organo-aqueous media at specific ratios only. The functional group tolerance of the isolate with unprotected and protected β-aminonitriles, structural analogues of β-hydroxynitriles was also investigated with disappointingly poor isolated yields and selectivity obtained. The isolate was further evaluated with the α- aminonitrile phenylglycinonitrile generating acid in excellent yield and ee (>99 % (S) - isomer and 50 % yield). A series of pH studies with this substrate indicated pH 7 to be the optimum pH to avoid product and substrate degradation.
