Background  During the last years  B. megaterium  was continuously developed as production host for the secretion of proteins into the growth medium. Here, recombinant production and export of  B. megaterium  ATCC14945 penicillin G amidase (PGA) which is used in the reverse synthesis of β-lactam antibiotics were systematically improved.    Results  For this purpose, the PGA leader peptide was replaced by the  B. megaterium  LipA counterpart. A production strain deficient in the extracellular protease NprM and in xylose utilization to prevent gene inducer deprivation was constructed and employed. A buffered mineral medium containing calcium ions and defined amino acid supplements for optimal PGA production was developed in microscale cultivations and scaled up to a 2 Liter bioreactor. Productivities of up to 40 mg PGA per L growth medium were reached.    Conclusion  The combination of genetic and medium optimization led to an overall 7-fold improvement of PGA production and export in  B. megaterium . The exclusion of certain amino acids from the minimal medium led for the first time to higher volumetric PGA activities than obtained for complex medium cultivations.
