ABSTRACT
Experiments were carried out to investigate the process of a continuous enzymatic synthesis of L-aspartic acid from ammonium fumarate in uniform filling flow reactors. Escherichia coli (Soviet strain 85) cells immobilized in polyacrylamide gel granules reinforced by a solid carrier were used as biocatalysts. The conditions, under which a high aspartase activity of the biocatalyst and a stable hydrodynamic performance of the reactor were maintained, were determined. The main kinetic characteristics of a continuous performance of the reactor for 150 days were obtained.
