摘要

Hydrolysis of glycyrrhizin (GL) to glycyrrhetic acid 3-O-mono-尾-d-glucuronide (GAMG) by whole-cell biocatalysts in a system containing non-conventional solvents was performed. Three whole-cell biocatalysts were used, including wild-type Penicillium purpurogenum Li-3 (w-PGUS) and recombinant strains Escherichia coli BL21 and Pichia pastoris GS115. The biotransformation of GL to GAMG by w-PGUS in a 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([Bmim]PF₆)/buffer biphasic system was the main focus of this study because w-PGUS showed a higher GAMG yield and a higher relative activity in this system than the other two whole-cell biocatalysts. Using the optimized reaction conditions determined as a pH 5.2 buffer, a 6.0 mM substrate concentration, a reaction temperature of 30 掳C, and a 60 g/L (1.23 U/g) cell concentration, a GAMG yield of 87.63%was achieved after 60 h. After eight reaction cycles, [Bmim]PF₆ retained a high recovery percentage (85.48%)_[0], indicating the reusability of this IL. The biotransformation activity of w-PGUS was not significantly affected, even after two batch reaction cycles. Furthermore, the product GAMG and the byproduct glycyrrhetinic acid were spontaneously separated in the biphasic system. In conclusion, the combination of whole cells and ionic liquid is a promising approach for economical and industrial-scale production of GAMG.
