PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF D-AMINO ACIDS

摘要

The present invention focuses on a process for the production of enantiopure D-amino acids. In particular, a mixture of D- and L-amino acids is treated with an enzymatic reaction system in such a way that the L-form of the amino acid is removed from the system, leaving only the D-form of the amino acid. The present invention also provides a reaction system that operates in such a way and a whole-cell catalyst that can be used for the process according to the invention.
