    megaterium UN-1, a high penicillin G acylase producer mutant of Bacillus megaterium ATCC 14945. Complete nucleotide sequence of pac gene was determined and found that the gene contained an open reading frame encoding for 802 amino acids with MW of about 92...-PAGE suggested that the penicillin G acylase of Bacillus megaterium UN-1 comprised of two subunits MW of about 23,000 Da and 57,000 Da. Therefore, this enzyme seem to be synthesized first as a single polypeptide and later being processed during

    Localization of the Bacillus megaterium penicillin acylase (PAC) gene on plasmid pMLV101 was done by using the transposition inactivation technique. The PAC gene was found to be about 2.8 - 3.1 Kb in length. Partial digestion of pMLV101... of enzyme activety as E. coli which carried the plasmid pMLV101. The recombinant B. subtilis which carried plasmid pHBA33 produced PAC extracellularly, but, its activity was slightly lower than that of B. megaterium UN-1.

    Cloning and expression of penicillin acylase genes from overproducing strains of Escherichia coli and Bacillus megaterium
    (1987-01-01) V. Meevootisom; J. R. Saunders; Mahidol University; University of Liverpool
    Penicillin acylase genes from Escherichia coli 194, of an overproducing mutant (194-3) of this strain, and of a similar overproducing mutant of Bacillus megaterium UN1 were cloned in E. coli DH1 on the plasmid vector pACYC184. The sizes... in the original strains. The Bacillus penicillin acylase was produced intracellularly in E. coli recombinants, which is in contrast to the normal extracellular production of this enzyme in B. megaterium.

    High expression of the penicillin G acylase gene (pac) from Bacillus megaterium UN1 in its own pac minus mutant
    (2000-08-15) W. Panbangred; K. Weeradechapon; S. Udomvaraphant; K. Fujiyama; V. Meevootisom; Mahidol University; Osaka University
    By marker exchange mutagenesis, Bacillus megaterium strain UN-1 (Bm-UN1) was used to prepare a mutant strain B. megaterium UN-cat (Bm-UNcat) lacking the penicillin G acylase gene (pac). The pac gene from Bm-UN1 was subcloned into pTF6... and the resultant plasmid, pBA402, was introduced into Bm-UNcat and Bacillus subtilis. Bm-UNcat harbouring pBA402 produced high penicillin G acylase (PAC) activity of 13.7, 19.5 and 20.4 U ml1 at 24, 36 and 48 h of culture, respectively. This was two- to fivefold

    © 2018, Springer Nature Switzerland AG. A novel bacterium, Bacillus megaterium strain ISO-2, capable of the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA), was isolated from wastewater collected from a polycarbonate industry. The bacterium, which was grown...-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis revealed several intermediates during the BPA degradation process by B. megaterium strain ISO-2. These intermediates were identified as 4-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)phenol, 4-isopropylphenol
