Summary:The present world status of using biocatalysts for production of beta-lactam antibiotics and their semiproducts is analyzed and the biocatalytic and chemical methods for production of antibiotics are compared. The requirements to the quality of biocatalysts used in production of drugs are formulated and the criteria of the efficiency of biocatalytic production processes are presented. Interrelation between the requirements to the biocatalyst quality and the efficiency of the biocatalytic production processes is examined. The general principles of development of efficient enzymatic processes including biocatalytic processes in production of beta-lactam antibiotics as closed-loop and practically wasteless systems are discussed. The main advantages of the developed production processes are illustrated by an example of large-scale processes use in manufacturing of the basic products for synthesis of beta-lactam compounds.
