ABSTRACT
D-alanine is widely used in medicine, food, additives, cosmetics, and other consumer items. Esterase derived from Bacillus cereus WZZ001 exhibits high hydrolytic activity and stereoselectivity. In this study, we expressed the esterase gene in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). We analyzed the biocatalytic resolution of N-acetyl-DL-alanine methyl ester by immobilized whole E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells, which were prepared through embedding and cross-linking. We analyzed biocatalytic resolution under the optimal conditions of pH of 7.0, temperature of 40°C and substrate concentration of at 700 mM with an enantiomeric excess of 99.99% and e.e.p of 99.50%. The immobilized recombinant B. cereus esterase E. coli BL21 (DE3) cells exhibited excellent reusability and retained 86.04% of their initial activity after 15 cycles of repeated reactions. The immobilized cells are efficient and stable biocatalysts for the preparation of N-acetyl-D-alanine methyl esters.
