Enzymatic synthesis of geranyl acetate in packed bed reactor in supercritical carbon dioxide under various pressure-temperature conditions and reactor configurations.

Data in this paper describes the catalytic performances, expressed in terms of conversion %, of geraniol and acetic acid to geranyl acetate, using the immobilized lipase B from Candida antarctica in packed bed reactors (PBR) using supercritical CO2 as a solvent. Readers will find data related to different Figures or equations of the article as well as supplementary data that will help to make the difference between flowrates of CO2 in a liquid state and corresponding flowrates of supercritical CO2 for various CO2 pressure and temperature combinations.

An aminoacylase activity from Streptomyces ambofaciens catalyzes the acylation of lysine on α-position and peptides on N-terminal position.

The presence of aminoacylase activities was investigated in a crude extract of Streptomyces ambofaciens ATCC23877. First activities catalyzing the hydrolysis of N-α or ε-acetyl-L-lysine were identified. Furthermore, the acylation of lysine and different peptides was studied and compared with results obtained with lipase B of Candida antarctica (CALB). Different regioselectivities were demonstrated for the two classes of enzymes. CALB was able to catalyze acylation only on the ε-position whereas the crude extract from S. ambofaciens possessed the rare ability to catalyze the N-acylation on the α-position of the lysine or of the amino-acid in N-terminal position of peptides. Two genes, SAM23877_1485 and SAM23877_1734, were identified in the genome of Streptomyces ambofaciens ATCC23877 whose products show similarities with the previously identified aminoacylases from Streptomyces mobaraensis. The proteins encoded by these two genes were responsible for the major aminoacylase hydrolytic activities. Furthermore, we show that the hydrolysis of N-α-acetyl-L-lysine could be attributed to the product of SAM23877_1734 gene.
