Abstract

In enzymatic synthesis of cephalexin (CEX) from 7-amino-3-deacetoxycephalosporanic acid (7-ADCA) and D-α-phenylglycine methyl ester (PGM) using an acylase fromXanthomonas citri, it was found that the synthetic activity and conversion yield were enhanced markedly by depressing the water activity (a w ) of reaction system. This enhancement was probably resulted from the change of thermodynamic equilibrium and maximized at a range ofa w from 0.96 to 0.97.
