Scaling up a nitrilase based hydrolysis


Efficient Production of (R)-o-Chloromandelic Acid by Recombinant Escherichia coli Cells Harboring Nitrilase from Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 by Dongzhi Wei and co-workers is published in Organic Process Research and Development at  DOI:10.1021/op400174a.  It being OPRD and from a group working in a Laboratory of Bioreactor Engineering, it’s going to be an interesting read on doing a nitrilase reaction on the larger scale.  We are currently working on scaling up a different nitrilase-based reaction currently from bench scale to the “too heavy to use normal glassware” scale so it’s good to see how others do it.
