Abstract:

Cells of Alcaligenes xylosoxidans containing N-carbamoyl-L--amino acid amidohydrolase strictly distinguished the configuration of not only the -carbon but also the -carbon of N-carbamoyl--methylphenylalanine, and produced threo-l--methylphenylalanine specifically from a mixture of the four stereoisomers.

Keywords: carbamoylase; diastereomeric amino acids; -methylphenylalanine
