EC 3.5.1.11 (Cat.No:M017563), also known as Penicillin amidase,  is the enzyme used commercially for the production of semisynthetic penicillins. It was used to study its effect in release of fatty acid and HSL (homoserine lactone) from AHLs (N-acylhomoserine lactones) in degradation of antibiotics. It was used as positive control for assaying penicillin G acylase activity in the study of functional analysis of bile salt hydrolase and penicillin acylase family members in Lactobacillus sp. Penicillin amidase may be used for synthesis of 6-aminopenicillanic acid from penicillin-G and for the industrial production of β-lactam antibiotics.
