Abstract
We examined the performance of Streptomyces lividans strain W25 containing a hybrid expandase (deacetoxycephalosporin C synthase; DAOCS) gene, obtained by in vivo recombination between the expandase genes of S. clavuligerus and Nocardia lactamdurans for resting-cell bioconversion of penicillin G to deacetoxycephalosporin G. Strain W25 carried out a much more effective level of bioconversion than the previously used strain, S. clavuligerus NP1. The two strains also differed in the concentrations of FeSO(4) and alpha-ketoglutarate giving maximal activity. Whereas NP1 preferred 1.8 mM FeSO(4 )and 1.3 mM alpha-ketoglutarate, recombinant W25 performed best at 0.45 mM FeSO(4) and 1.9 mM alpha-ketoglutarate.Entities:
