ABSTRACT Production of β-lactams by the filamentous fungus Penicillium chrysogenum requires a substantial input of ATP. During glucose-limited growth, this ATP is derived from glucose dissimilation, which reduces the product yield on glucose. The present study has investigated whether penicillin G yields on glucose can be enhanced by cofeeding of an auxiliary substrate that acts as an energy source but not as a carbon substrate. As a model system, a high-producing industrial strain of P. chrysogenum was grown in chemostat cultures on mixed substrates containing different molar ratios of formate and glucose. Up to a formate-to-glucose ratio of 4.5 mol·mol−1, an increasing rate of formate oxidation via a cytosolic NAD+-dependent formate dehydrogenase increasingly replaced the dissimilatory flow of glucose. This resulted in increased biomass yields on glucose. Since at these formate-to-glucose ratios the specific penicillin G production rate remained constant, the volumetric productivity increased. Metabolic modeling studies indicated that formate transport in P. chrysogenum does not require an input of free energy. At formate-to-glucose ratios above 4.5 mol·mol−1, the residual formate concentrations in the cultures increased, probably due to kinetic constraints in the formate-oxidizing system. The accumulation of formate coincided with a loss of the coupling between formate oxidation and the production of biomass and penicillin G. These results demonstrate that, in principle, mixed-substrate feeding can be used to increase the yield on a carbon source of assimilatory products such as β-lactams.

The use of green solvents as an alternative to dimethylformamide (DMF) in the synthesis of zeolitic imidazolate framework-90 (ZIF-90) was investigated. Two biobased aprotic dipolar solvents CyreneTM and γ-valerolactone (GVL) proved to successfully replace DMF in the synthesis at room temperature with a high product yield. While the CyreneTM—based product shows reduced porosity after activation, the use of GVL resulted in materials with preserved crystallinity and porosity after activation, without prior solvent exchange and a short treatment at 200 °C. The primary particles of 30 nm to 60 nm in all products further form agglomerates of different size and interparticle mesoporosity, depending on the type and molar ratios of solvents used.

Availability of drugs in Indonesia is still limited by the high prices of drugs due to on the imported raw materials that reaches 95%. Developing antibiotic raw materials can be achieved by increasing of penicillin G production, which is the raw material for the formation of semisynthetic penicillin derivatives through the production of 6-aminopenisillanic acid (6-APA). One of the important enzyme in the penicillin G biosynthesis is Isopenisilin N Synthase (IPNS) that encodes by pcbC gene on Penicillium chrysogenum. This study aimed to obtain a recombinant of pcbC gene fragments that is inserted into pPICZA plasmid. Amplification of pcbC gene used pcbC-F and pcbC-R primers. The pcbC gene fragment was inserted into pPICZA vector and then transformed into TOP 10 F’. The results showed that the recombinant of the pcbC gene fragment from P. chrysogenum has been obtained. Analysis of DNA sequences using the BLAST program showed that the pcbC gene fragment has high homology (99%) with the  pcbC gene from P. chrysogenum Wisconsin 54-1255 and P. chrysogenum AS-P-78 which encodes IPNS   Keywords: pcbC Gene, Penicillium chrysogenum, cloning, penicillin G

In this study, a rapid and selective method has been developed to determine PENG residues in waste penicillium chrysogenum by using SPE cleanup strategy followed by HPLC. Furthermore, some parameters which influenced the extraction efficiency including extraction mode, solvent and time, while washing solution and eluting solution for SPE were systematically investigated. It should be noted that the extraction process was carried out in a single step by mixing the extraction solvent acetonitrile: formic acid in aqueous solution and chrysogenum samples under ultrasound. The SPE procedure was conducted using Oasis HLB as the clean up cartridge, n-hexane as washing solution, and mixture of acetonitrile and methanol as eluting solution. Under the optimized conditions, the linear of PENG are in the range of 0.1-2000 μg/mL, with the correlation was R2>0.99. In addition, the recoveries of PENG in these samples at three fortification levels of 800-1800mg/kg were 74.98% to 113.47% are obtained, respectively. Moreover, a limits of detection (0.006 mg/kg) and quantification (0.02 mg/kg) could be achieved.

The aim is to optimize the conditions for the synthesis of 3(H)-quinazolin-4-one by the method of mathematical modeling to develop a technology for producing the substance of a new domestic drug used in the treatment of farm animals from helminths. In mathematical modeling, the method of a small number of squares was used. Analytical dependences of the product yield on temperature, reaction time, and molar ratios of the starting materials were determined. A system of linear equations has been compiled. The system of linear equations was performed by the matrix method (A, B, C).The average reaction rate was determined. Based on the results obtained, a 3(H)-quinazolin-4-one diagram using the Maple 18 program and an icon diagram of the reaction duration, temperature, and reaction rate are shown. Based on the results of mathematical modeling, a highly efficient technological scheme for obtaining 3(H)-quinazolin-4-one has been developed. Based on this technology, compound 3(H)-quinazolin-4-one was synthesized in quantitative products at the Institute of Plant Chemistry, at a pilot production plant.The results obtained confirmed the found optimal conditions

Penicillin-G antibiotic was used as the basic ingredient of making antibiotic type β-lactam such as tetracycline, amoxicillin, ampicillin and other antibiotics. Penicillin-G was splited into 6-amino penicillanic acid as the source of β-lactam. The biosynthetic pathway for the formation of penicillin-G in Penicillium chrysogenum cell through the formation of intermediates was carried out in the form of amino acids such as α-aminoadipate, L-cysteine, L-valine which are formed from glucose (food ingredients).The formation of 6-amino penicillanic acid is an amino acid combination of L-cysteine and L-valine, a step part of the formation of antibiotic penicillin-G in P. chrysogenum cells, thus, it is obvious that there are enzymes involved in its formation. The objective of this study was to examine the use of enzymes present in P. chrysogenum cells to produce penicillin-G and 6-amino penicillanic acid using the intermediate compounds α-aminoadipate, L-cysteine, L-valine and phenylacetic acid assisted by NAFA® coenzymes in P. chrysogenum cells which is more permeable. The research method started from producing biomass of P. chrysogenum cells that demonstrated penicillin-producing antibiotic capability, as the source of the enzyme, followed by addition of permeability treatment of P. chrysogenum cell membrane to get immobile of enzyme by its own cell therefore it can be used more than once. After that the enzyme activity was proven by adding α-aminoadipate, L-cysteine, L-valine, phenylacetic acid and NAFA® coenzyme for the formation of penicillin-G, whereas the addition of L-cystein, L-valine and NAFA® coenzyme were aimed to form 6-amino penicillanic acid. The results showed that P. chrysogenum is able to produce antibiotics with stationary early phase on day 6. The best increased permeability of P. chrysogenum cell membranes was obtained using a 1:4 of toluene:ethanol ratio mixture with the highest antibiotic concentration (130.06 mg/L) after testing for the enzymatic formation of antibacterial penicillin-G.

In the last decade, new types of solvents called deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been synthesized and commercialized. Among their main advantages, they can be eco-friendly and are easy to synthesize at different molar ratios depending on the desired solvent properties. This review aims to show the different uses of DES in some relevant biocatalytic redox reactions. Here we analyze oxidoreductase-mediated transformations that are performed in the presence of DES and compare them with the ones that avoided those solvents. DES were found to present advantages such as the increase in the product yield and enantiomeric excess in many reactions.
