PCT No. PCT/ES97/00066 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 25, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 25, 1998 PCT Filed Mar. 14, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/35029 PCT Pub. Date Sep. 25, 1997Alternative process for obtaining 6-aminopenicillanic acid. The process comprises replacing the stages of extraction with organic solvents and isolation and separation of the intermediate penicillin salt as a solid by a process of ultrafiltration of the culture broth in at least 2 successive stages. The first stage has a cut-off for molecular weights of 20,000 Dalton and the second, 2000 Dalton. Subsequent to the enzyme conversion stage the products from that stage are subjected to a series of anionic exchange chromatography steps.
