D-N-CARBAMOYL-AMINO ACID AMIDOHYDROLASE AND HYDANTOINASE

摘要

Processes are provided for the production of a carbamoylase enzyme which has the capability of converting a D-N-carbamoyl (optionally substituted phenyl) glycine into the corresponding D-(optionally substitued phenyl) glycine by expressing recombinant DNA encoding a carbamoylase gene in a homologous host. Also provided are specific recombinant DNA vectors producing high levels of expression of the carbamoylase enzyme and/or a hydantoinase enzyme in homologous and heterologous hosts and their use in the production of D-(alpha) amino acids.
