Penicillin G acylase (PGA), as a key enzyme, is increasingly used in the commercial production of semi-synthetic β-lactam antibiotics (SSBAs). With the substitution of conventional chemical synthesis by emerging bioconversion processes, more and more PGAs fermented from different types of strains such as Escherichia coli (E. coli, ATCC 11105), Achromobacter sp. CCM 4824 and Providencia rettgeri (ATCC 31052) have been used in this kind of enzymatic processes. As an intermediate reaction catalyst, PGA protein and its presence in the final products may cause a potential risk of human allergic reaction and bring challenges for both quality and process controls...
