Iw. Kim et Yh. Khang, SIMPLE AND RAPID-DETERMINATION OF THE ACTIVITY OF RECOMBINANT D-AMINO-ACID OXIDASE IN CEPHALOSPORIN-C BIOCONVERSION WITH USE OF A MICRO PO(2) PROBE, Biotechnology techniques, 9(12), 1995, pp. 863-868
D-Amino acid oxidase (DAAO) genes were amplified from Trigonopsis vari
abilis and. Rhodotorula gracilis by polymerase chain reactions. T. var
iabilis DAAO gene was cloned into a pUC19 vector. The expression of th
e T. variabilis DAAO was directly determined in permeabilized E. coli
cells using a micro pO(2) probe. The micro pO(2) probe was sensitive e
nough to be suitable for a simple and rapid estimation of DAAO activit
y toward cephalosporin. C.
