Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a high-selectivity L-lactone hydrolase-producing bacterium and a technical method for preparing chiral hydroxyacids or corresponding lactones using the strain. technical background
[0002] Hydroxy acids, such as lactic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid and gluconic acid, etc., are a very important class of organic acids, which have unique physiological functions in living organisms and are very useful in the food / feed industry functional additives. This situation is very similar to amino acids, and the two can also be transformed into each other under certain conditions. Some unnatural hydroxy acids, especially optically active chiral hydroxy acids, can also be used as "structural building blocks" for the chemical synthesis of various natural products and drug molecules.
[0003] In addition to pure α-hydroxy acids, β-hydroxy acids, γ-hydroxy acids, and ω-hydroxy acids with hydroxyl at the end can all be dehydrate...
