NOVEL ESTERASES DERIVED FROM <i> PSEUDOMONAS AERUGINOSA</i>, ITS GENE AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF OPTICALLY ACTIVE CARBOXYLIC ACIDS USING THEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a novel strain, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the gene encoding esterase, and the method for the production of RAM from (R,S)-ester using this esterase. In detailly described, this invention discloses the novel esterase and the nucleotide sequence producing optical active RAM, the expression vector overproducing RAM from (R,S)-ester, transformant containing expression vector, and the method of enzyme solution for the production of RAM.
