Penicillin acylase, an industrially important biocatalyst catalyzes the conversion of penicillins to 6-amino penicillanic acid (6-APA) which is the main precursor for the production of semisynthetic ß-lactam antibiotics. The present work involves the continuous production of 6- APA in a packed colu...
