Abstract
The disclosure discloses a nitrile hydratase mutant, a genetically engineered bacterium containing the mutant and applications thereof, and belongs to the technical field of enzyme engineering. In the disclosure, glycine at position 47 of a nitrile hydratase mutant αL6T/A19V/F126Y-βM46K/E108R/S212Y (disclosed in the patent of disclosure CN102216455A) is mutated to asparagine. The obtained new mutant enzyme has better temperature tolerance and tolerance to a product, and is conducive to future industrial production. The recombinant strain containing the nitrile hydratase mutant is fermented at high density, and 3-cyanopyridine is used as a substrate to carry out a whole-cell catalytic reaction to prepare nicotinamide. Compared with a chemical production method, the method has a safe and clean production process and no environmental pollution. Compared with an enzymatic method, the substrate price is cheap and the catalytic efficiency is high. The yield of the final product nicotinamide is over 95%, the concentration reaches 680 g/L, and the separation and purification steps of the product are simplified.
