Processes are provided for the production of a hydantoinase enzyme which has the ability to convert a D,L - (optionally substituted phenyl) hydantoin into the corresponding D-N-carbamoyl (optionally substituted phenyl) glycine, by expressing recombinant DNA encoding a hydantoinase gene in a homologous host. Also provided are specific recombinant DNA vectors useful for producing high levels of expression of the hydantoinase enzyme and their use in the production of D- alpha amino acids |
