Abstract

An isolated and immobilised aminotransferase cloned from Pseudomonas stutzeri ST-201 into Escherichia coli was used to synthesise d -phenylglycine. The reaction was characterised by an unfavourable equilibrium constant and substrate inhibition. The use of a controlled-release system via the use of Amberlite (IRA 400)-adsorbed benzoylformate proved a useful technique to circumvent these issues. This resulted in a four-fold improvement in product concentration achievable to yield a final Dphenylglycine concentration of 10.25 mg/ml.
