Abstract

We studied the effect of a heterogeneous environment on the stereoselectivity of transformation of racemic phenylglycine nitrile. Immobilized biocatalysts were prepared by adhesion of Pseudomonas fluorescens C2 cells on carbon-containing supports and covalent crosslinking of nitrile hydratase and amidase of Rhodococcus rhodochrous 4–1 to activated chitosan as well as by the method of cross-linked aggregates. At a reaction duration of 20 h, the ratio of phenylglycine stereoisomers changes depending on the presence of support in medium. The highest optical purity of the product (enantiomeric excess of L-phenylglycine solution, 98%) is achieved when enzyme aggregates of nitrile hydratase and amidase cross-linked with 0.1% glutaraldehyde are used as a biocatalyst.
