Biotransformation of nicotinamide to nicotinic acid, in 1 l scale fed batch reactor.
This is the first reported Geobacillus subterraneus species having amidase activity.
This is first reported broad substrate spectrum amidase from Geobacillus sp.
Amidase with deactivation constant (kd) and enzyme t1/2 of 4.15 × 10−5 s−1 and 6 h 4 min.
The amidase showed activity at wide range of temperature (40–90 °C) and pH (4.5–13).
