Abstract excerpt
Industrially, the use of high temperatures (40-60 degrees C) in the L: -malate production process could result in rapid inactivation of the mesophilic fumarases, warranting constant replenishment of the biocatalyst. Thus, a thermostable fumarase C that is active and stable at high temperatures would be ideal. Biochemical studies using recombinant fumarase C from thermophilic Streptomyces thermovulgaris (stFUMC)...
