N-Carbamyl-D-amino acid amidohydrolase (DCase), produced with recombinant Escherichia coli cells using a cloned gene from Agrobacterium sp. strain KNK712, has been immobilized for use in the production of D-amino acids. The porous polymers, Duolite A-568 and Chitopearl 3003, were much better than other resins for the activity and stability of the adsorbed enzyme. The activity of DCase expressed on Duolite A-568 and Chitopearl 3003 amounted to 96 units/g-wet-resin and 91 units/g-wet-resin, respectively. DCase immobilized on Duolite A-568 was found to be most stable at about pH 7, and it was further stabilized by reductants such as dithiothreitol, L-cysteine, cysteamine, and sodium hydrosulfite. The stability during the repeated batch reactions was greatly improved when dithiothreitol was in the reaction mixture, and the higher crosslinking degree with glutaraldehyde also stabilized the immobilized enzyme. After 14 times repeated reactions, the remaining activity of the immobilized enzyme cross-linked with 0.1% and 0.2% of glutaraldehyde, and 0.2% of glutaraldehyde with dithiothreitol in the reaction mixture was 12%, 18%, and 63%, respectively. DCase produced with Pseudomonas sp. strain KNK003A and Pseudomonas sp. strain KNK505, which are thermotolerant soil bacteria, and that with Agrobacterium sp. strain KNK712 were also immobilized on Duolite A-568. The stability of the enzymes of thermotolerant bacteria during reactions was superior to that of Agrobacterium sp. strain KNK712, though the activity was lower than that of strain KNK712.
