A novel immobilized nitrilase (I-N-l-D155) immobilized with D155 resin modified by l-lysine (L-D155) was synthesized and used in the production of (R)-(−)-mandelic acid ((R)-(−)-MA). FTIR spectra indicated that nitrilase has been introduced into L-D155 resin and the Schiff base was formed. The condition of mandelonitrile hydrolysis was optimized, the hydrolysate characteristics was executed. The characterizations of the hydrolysate illustrated the hydrolysate was (R)-(−)-mandelic acid. The hydrolysis yield of (R)-(−)-mandelic acid was 53.42±0.63% with the enantiomeric excess above 99% for hydrolysis of mandelonitrile in 45°C, pH=9.6, I-N-l-D155/mandelonitrile=0.5 for 5hKm value and thermostability of I-N-l-D155 were increased by 22.74±2.08% and 5°C, respectively, compared to free nitrilase. And the enzyme activity was retained 92.48±0.32% of its initial activity after continuous 15th reuse. This novel immobilized nitrilase showed potential application for (R)-(−)-mandelic acid production and might be a valuable strategy to facilitate efficiency and cost savings.
