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
All plants synthesize pantothenate but its synthesis and regulation are not well understood. The aim of this work is to study the effect of exogenous supply of precursor compounds on pantothenate levels in leaves. Precursor compounds were supplied in solution

The levo-lactonase gene of Fusarium proliferatum ECU2002 (EC3.1.1.25) was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli JM109 (DE3) for biocatalytic resolution of industrially important chiral lactones, including DL-pantoyl lactone which was a key precursor to calcium D-pantothenate. By increasing the biomass
