✦ Synopsis


Escherichia coli cells with penicillin acylase activity were permeabilized with aqueous solutions of the cationic detergent N-cetyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), at pH 8.0 and the activity was found to have almost doubled. The concentration of CTAB, the time and temperature of treatment were optimised for maximum enzyme activity and were found to be 0.2%, 20 min and 5'C respectively. Subsequently, the cell bound activity was retained for a longer period by chemical cross-linking with 0.1% glutaraldehyde.
