The effects of various commercial and model surfactants of different structure and hydrophilicity were studied on water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion stability, potassium cation leakage and permeation of 6-nitro-3-phenylacetamide benzoic acid in a model system using Penicillin acylase (EC 3.5.1.11) immobilized in

A simple, rapid assay for screening penicillin G acylase-producing bacteria is presented. The method is based on the formation of yellow 2-nitro-5-aminobenzoic acid by penicillin G acylase acting on 2-nitro-5-phenylacetaminobenzoic acid (NIPAB). NIPAB test paper is briefly applied to bacterial

Penicillin acylase of Escherichia coli catalyses the hydrolysis and synthesis of beta-lactam antibiotics. To study the role of hydrophobic residues in these reactions, we have mutated three active-site phenylalanines. Mutation of alphaF146, betaF24 and betaF57 to Tyr, Trp, Ala or
