Abstract

Provided is a method for producing a compound using a biocatalyst. In the method for continuously producing a compound using a biocatalyst in one or a plurality of reaction tanks, the downstream reaction temperature is set higher than the upstream reaction temperature of the flow of the catalyst in a reaction tank or between reaction tanks.

Claims (18)

1. A method for continuously producing an amide compound in the presence of a biocatalyst in two or more reaction tanks, wherein a downstream reaction temperature is set higher than an upstream reaction temperature by at least 1° C. between reaction tanks.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the downstream reaction temperature is set higher than the upstream reaction temperature by at least 5° C. between reaction tanks.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the biocatalyst is microbial cells or a processed product thereof.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compound produced is acrylamide, nicotinamide, or 5-cyanovaleramide.

5. The method according claim 1 , wherein the biocatalyst flows in parallel with a flow of reaction solution in the reaction tanks.

6. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the biocatalyst is microbial cells or a processed product thereof.

7. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the biocatalyst is microbial cells.

8. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the biocatalyst is microbial cells or a processed product thereof.

9. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the biocatalyst is microbial cells or processed product thereof.

10. The method according claim 2 , wherein the biocatalyst flows in parallel with a flow of reaction solution in the reaction tanks.

11. The method according claim 3 , wherein the biocatalyst flows in parallel with a flow of reaction solution in the reaction tanks.

12. The method according claim 4 , wherein the biocatalyst flows in parallel with a flow of reaction solution in the reaction tanks.

13. The method according claim 5 , wherein the biocatalyst flows in parallel with a flow of reaction solution in the reaction tanks, and wherein said biocatalyst is a processed product of microbial cells.

14. The method according claim 6 , wherein the biocatalyst flows in parallel with a flow of reaction solution in the reaction tanks.

15. The method according claim 7 , wherein the biocatalyst flows in parallel with a flow of reaction solution in the reaction tanks.

16. The method according claim 8 , wherein the biocatalyst flows in parallel with a flow of reaction solution in the reaction tanks.

17. The method according claim 9 , wherein the biocatalyst flows in parallel with a flow of reaction solution in the reaction tanks.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the amide compound is acrylamide.
