METHOD FOR PRODUCING D TYPE LACTIC ACID WITH HIGH OPTICAL PURITY

摘要

The present invention provides a method for producing D-type lactic acid by using E. coli and glucose derived from a plant as active ingredient, in which D-type lactic acid is a raw material of D-type polylactic acid in order to produce a stereo-complex polylactic acid blend which is a valuable material as the plant-based material for the manufacture of interior and exterior parts of an automobile. More specifically, the present invention relates to a bacterial strain and a fermentation process for producing D-type lactic acid with high optical purity.
