Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for stably preserving microbial cells having nitrile hydratase activity in a cell suspension at a predetermined concentration. In addition, the present invention also relates to a cell suspension containing microbial cells having nitrile hydratase activity at a predetermined concentration. Background technique
[0002] Enzymes produced by microorganisms are often used as enzymes for chemical conversion reactions. In particular, amides, carboxylic acids, α-hydroxycarboxylic acids, etc., which are important in the chemical industry, can be produced inexpensively by using nitrile hydratase, nitrilase, etc. which have hydration or hydrolysis of nitrile groups. In addition, optically active carboxylic acids, amino acids, α-hydroxycarboxylic acids, etc., which are important raw materials for the production of medicines and agricultural chemicals, can also be produced by using the above-mentioned enzymes having optic...
