Abstract:

The wild-type Penicillium purpurogenum Li-3 strain is capable of expressing highly β-glucuronidase, a intracellular enzyme with excellent ability to biotransform glycyrrhizin(GL) into glycyrrhetinic acid monoglucuronide(GAMG) possessing best biological function. To improve the production of GAMG, the effects of ionic liquids with different anion composition on Penicillium purpurogenum Li-3 cells properties of growth, metabolism, permeability of cell membrane and catalysis were studied in this paper. The results showed that [Bmim]Ac and [Bmim]Tf2N had obvious inhibitory effects on cell growth and metabolism. Six kinds of ionic liquids all improved the permeability of cell membrane, and [Bmim]Ac was the most remarkable. In the two catalytic medium respectively containing 25% hydrophobic [Bmim]PF6 and [Bmim]Tf2N, conversion rates of substrate GL were 82.73% and 89.84%, and the yields of GAMG were 68.65% and 76.23%, respectively. Thus, the substrate GL conversion increased slightly, but the yield of GAMG were about two times higher than that in the pure buffer solution without ionic liquids(conversion rate of GL 81.82%, yield of GAMG 33.31%). It was obvious that hydrophobic [Bmim]PF6 and [Bmim]Tf2N were capable of promoting the selectivity of the whole cell catalysis. While hydrophilic [Bmim]Ac, [Bmim]Cl and [Bmim]NO3 obviously had inhibition in different degrees on the cell’s catalytic activity. These results indicated that the anions in ionic liquids played a crucial role as biological catalytic medium.
