RESUMO
Several screening methods were developed for the selection of Pseudomonas strains capable of hydrolyzing glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid to 7-aminocephalosporanic acid. An isolate exhibiting high acylase activity, designated BL072, was identified as a strain of Pseudomonas diminuta. It grew optimally at pH 7 to 8 and at a temperature of 32 to 40°C, but acylase activity was highest when the strain was grown at 28°C. Mutants of BL072 were generated by nitrosoguanidine treatment and screened for increased production of glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid acylase. A superior mutant gave a fourfold increase in acylase titer. The cell-associated acylase had similar activities against various glutaryl-cephems but had undetectable activity against cephalosporin C. This acylase may prove useful for the conversion of cephalosporin C to 7-aminocephalosporanic acid.
