Abstract excerpt
The biocatalytic conversion of 5-mono-substituted hydantoins to the corresponding D-amino acids or L-amino acids involves first the hydrolysis of hydantoin to a N-carbamoylamino acid by an hydantoinase or dihydropyrimidinase, followed by the conversion of the N-carbamoylamino acid to the amino acid by N-carbamylamino acid amidohydrolase ( N-carbamoylase). Pseudomonas putida strain RU-KM3S, with high levels of...
