Abstract

Whole cells of Brevibacterium ammoniagenes IAM 1645 having the polyphosphate NAD-kinase were successfully immobilized in a polyacrylamide gel lattice. The immobilized cells were activated by treatment with organic solvents or detergents. The pH optimum of the immobilized cells for the production of NADP was 7.0, and divalent metal ions were required to maintain the elevated activity of polyphosphate NAD-kinase. Highly pure NADP was continuously produced in high yield by the immobilized cell column. The half-life of this column was about eight days.

Immobilization of microbial cells containing NAD-kinase.

Microbial cells having NAD-kinase activity, Brevibacterium ammoniagenes, were immobilized by the radiation-copolymerization method under low temperature with the activity recovery of more than 80%. Compared to the native microbial cells the immobilized cells were more stable against heat and pH change. The immobilized cells were subjected to the 5 hr reaction repeatedly 20 times without any activity loss.

Reduction of endogenous nucleic acid in a single-cell protein.

The reduction of nucleic acid by an endogenous polynucleotide phosphorylase and ribonuclease in cells of Brevibacterium JM98A (ATCC 29895) was studied. A simple process was developed for the activation of the endogenous RNA-degrading enzyme(s). RNA degradation was activated by the presence of Pi with 14.2 mumol of ribonucleoside 5'-monophosphate per g of cell mass accumulating extracellularly. The optimum pH for degradation of RNA was 10.5 and the optimum temperature was 55 to 60 degrees C. Enzymatic activity was inhibited by the presence of Ca2+, Zn2+, or Mg2+. Although some of the RNA-degrading enzymatic activity was associated with the ribosomal fraction, most was soluble. Both polynucleotide phosphorylase and ribonuclease activities were identified.
