Abstract:
The cultural conditions for the growth of Norcardia cell were studied in this paper. Controlling pH value, adding nutrient and optimizing the quantity of inducer during cultivation, the activity of nitrile hydratase reached 6567 u/mL (culture medium), which was the highest value appeared in native journals. In the farther hydratase experiments, no by-product, crylic acid, was detected. It showed that the activity of amidase was not promoted obviously while the activity of nitrile hydratase was increased greatly. The results set a strong foundation for the industrial application and the research on new technology.
