Immobilized Pseudomonas sp. HZ519 cells have been used for transformation of validamycin A to valienamine and the degradation pathway of validamycin A by Pseudomonas sp. HZ519 has also been studied. Substrate inhibition in immobilized cell system was avoided. An average of 8.6 g L−1 valienamine concentration was obtained when concentration of validamycin A was increased up to 120 g L−1. Through a treatment of the immobilized cells with 0.3 mol L−1 substrate, the activity of the immobilized cells was increased distinctly. Compared with free cells, the productivity of valienamine by CA-immobilized cells was improved about three times. The reusability of the immobilized cells was evaluated with repeated–batch degradation experiments. The Tiele modulus was obtained from the experimental effectiveness factor. The result showed that the degradation process in the immobilized system was governed by intraparticle diffusion and chemical reaction.
