We developed an enzymatic resolution system for DL-pantoyl lactone that uses immobilized mycelia of Fusarium oxysporum, which produce a lactone-hydrolyzing enzyme (lactonase). The lactonase catalyzes the stereospecific hydrolysis of D-pantoyl lactone. One hundred eighty repeated batch reactions (total reaction time
A gas chromatographic procedure is described for quantitative estimation of alpha-hydroxy-beta 1 beta-dimethyl-gamma-butyrolactone (pantolactone). The chromatography was carried out using "LHM-8MD" apparatus equipped with a flame ionization detector. Columns with chromaton N-AW modified by 5% silicone XE-60 were used, helium

D-Pantonohydrolase has attracted increasing attention as a biocatalyst for stereospecific production of D-pantoic acid. The Fusarium moniliforme D-pantonohydrolase was selected for directed evolution through error-prone Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) combined with DNA shuffling for improved activity and pH stability using
The involvement of coenzyme A in many enzyme reactions suggests that it acted in this capacity very early in the development of life on Earth. Particularly relevant in this regard is its role in the activation of amino acids and
