Abstract

As shown in the case of the enzymatic cleavage of Penicillin G by Penicillin acylase hollow fibre modules of the type MLW (molecular separation value of 10,000 Dalton) produced for blood dialysis are also suitable as membrane reactor.

The enzymes physically bound in the hollow fibre allow a reproducible reaction rate and are characterized by an acceptable stability.

The studies indicate an operating stability which makes possible low production costs of amino penicillin acid.
