Abstract
D-Carnitine was converted to L-carnitine with partially purified D- an d L-carnitine dehydrogenases from Agrobacterium sp. 525a. Using partia lly purified D- and L-carnitine dehydrogenases (pH 8.5 Tris-HCl buffer , 100 mM D-carnitine, 5 mM NAD(+), 2 mM glutathione), about 64% of the D-carnitine could be converted into L-carnitine.
