Penicillin acylases (penicillin amidohydrolase, EC 3.5.1.11) are a group of enzymes with many applications within the pharmaceutical industry, and one of them is the production of semi-synthetic beta-lactam antibiotics. This enzyme is mainly produced by bacteria but also by some fungi. In the present study, the filamentous fungus Mucor griseocyanus was used to produce penicillin acylase enzyme (PGA). Its ability to express PGA enzyme in submerged fermentation process was assessed, finding that this fungal strain produces the biocatalyst of interest in an extracellular way at a level of 570IU/L at 72h of fermentation; in this case, a saline media using lactose as carbon source and penicillin G as inducer was employed. In addition, a DNA fragment (859bp) of the pga from a pure Mucor griseocyanus strain was amplified, sequenced, and analyzed in silico. The partial sequence of pga identified in the fungi showed high identity percentage with penicillin G acylase sequences deposited in NCBI through BLAST, especially with the β subunit of PGA from the Alcaligenes faecalis bacterium¸ which is a region involved in the catalytic function of this protein. Besides, the identification of domains in the penicillin G acylase sequence of Mucor griseocyanus showed three conserved regions of this protein. The bioinformatic results support the identity of the gen as penicillin G acylase. This is the first report that involves sequencing and in silico analysis of Mucor griseocyanus strain gene encoding PGA.
