A mutant strain of E. coli EP1 harbouring pGL-5 was employed to develop a process for producing penicillin G acylase (PGA). In comparison with different carbon sources in the medium, it was found that the specific levels of PGA activity obtained in the glucose medium were the lowest. which was likely due to catabolic repression. Phenylacetic acid (PAA) was previously reported to be an regulatory inducer for PGA production, whereas in this study, the addition of PAA repressed both cell growth and enzyme expression. In a fed-batch culture, the increase of specific PGA activity followed the pattern of the cell concentration during the early to middle cell growth phase. With application of pure oxygen aeration and an appropriate medium design, the cell concentration reached 162 (g wet weight/l), which was 2.4 times higher compared to that of the original operation, and a specific PGA activity of 37 (IU/g wet weight) was achieved after 12 h of cultivation.
