ENZYMATIC CONVERSION OF CISEPOXYSUCCINIC ACID TO L-TARTARIC ACID
A process for preparing L-tartaric acid, which comprises contacting a microorganism of the genus Nocardia having the ability to produce an enzyme which hydrolyzes the epoxy ring of cis-epoxysuccinic acid, or a crude enzyme isolated therefrom, with cis-epoxysuccinic acid or its derivatives in an aque...

Zusammenfassung: | A process for preparing L-tartaric acid, which comprises contacting a microorganism of the genus Nocardia having the ability to produce an enzyme which hydrolyzes the epoxy ring of cis-epoxysuccinic acid, or a crude enzyme isolated therefrom, with cis-epoxysuccinic acid or its derivatives in an aqueous medium in the presence of a surfactant, and recovering the resulting L-tartaric acid. |
