Abstract
A detailed process for the production of D-amino acids starting from t he synthesis of 5-substituted hydantoin was established using whole ce lls of Agrobacterium radiobacter. About 94% substrate turnover was att ained at 30 mg/ml substrate concentration. On isolation and concentrat ion of the end product, 65% recovery was obtained. The product was fou nd to be 99% pure by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and infrared (IR) analysis, and confirmed by optical rotation.
