Recombinant microorganism for D-amino acid production, useful as intermediates for pharmaceuticals, has genes involved in D-amino acid degradation inactivated, for improved yield

摘要

Recombinant microorganism (A), for production of D-amino acids (I) from N-carbamoylamino acids (II) or 5'-mono-substituted hydantoin (III), in which the gene(s) encoding D-amino acid oxidase and/or D-serine hydratase is (are) inactivated, is new. An Independent claim is also included for a method of preparing (I) by using (A).
