The role of sugars, polyhydroxy compounds, phenylacetic acid and 6-aminopenicillanic acid in stabilization of immobilized penicillin G acylase (IMPGA) was studied. The loss in the activity of IMPGA at 50 degrees C, 2 h, after incorporation of sucrose and mannitol at 0.1 M concentration was 16 and 18% respectively; the loss in the activity of the enzyme under these conditions in the absence of stabilizing agents was 40%.

Penicillin G acylase (PGA) serves as a critical biocatalyst for the hydrolysis of penicillin G, yielding 6-aminopenicillanic acid, a vital precursor for β-lactam semi-synthetic antibiotics. The catalytic efficiency of PGA, however, remains suboptimal in native Escherichia coli strains. To improve this, E.

Using free microorganisms for industrial processes has some limitations, such as the extensive consumption of substrates for growth, significant sensitivity to the microenvironment, and the necessity of separation from the product and, therefore, the cyclic process. It is widely acknowledged that confining or immobilizing cells in a matrix or support structure enhances enzyme stability, facilitates recycling, enhances rheological resilience, lowers bioprocess costs, and serves as a fundamental prerequisite for large-scale applications. This report summarizes the various cell immobilization methods, including several synthetic (polyvinylalcohol, polyethylenimine, polyacrylates, and Eudragit) and natural (gelatin, chitosan, alginate, cellulose, agar-agar, carboxymethylcellulose, and other polysaccharides) polymeric materials in the form of thin films, hydrogels, and cryogels.

Bacterial cell division is orchestrated by proteins that assemble in dynamic complexes collectively known as the divisome. Essential monofunctional enzymes with glycosyltransferase or transpeptidase (TPase) activities, FtsW and FtsI respectively, engage in the synthesis of septal peptidoglycan (sPG). Enigmatically, Salmonella has two TPases that can promote cell division independently: FtsI (PBP3) and the pathogen-specific paralogue PBP3.
