Application

Amidase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been used for testing its capability to hydrolyze ochratoxin A.
The importance of these hydrolases in biotechnology is growing rapidly, because their potential applications span through chemical and pharmaceutical industries as well as in bioremediation. Immobilized amidase can be used efficiently for production of acrylic acid from acrylamide, thus converting a toxic ambient contaminant into widely used industrial raw material. Amidases are potential treatments for human immunodeficiency virus and malaria. They may be used to eliminate metal ions in wastewater .

Biochem/physiol Actions

The amidase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa isa 6 × 38-kDa enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of a small range of short aliphatic amides. Each amidase monomer is formed by a globular four-layer αββα sandwich domain with an additional 81-residue long C-terminal segment .

Unit Definition

One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of acetamide and hydroxylamine to acetohydroxamate and ammonia per min at pH 7.2 at 37 °C.

Physical form

In this work, a mild, efficient bioconversion of 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarbonitrile (DMCPCN) to 2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxamide (DMCPCA) in distilled water system was developed. The isolate FW815 was screened using the enrichment culture technique, displaying strong DMCPCN hydratase activity, and was identified as Rhodococcus boritolerans
