The aim of this work was to understand the steps controlling the biotransformation of trimethylammonium compounds into L(-)-carnitine by Escherichia coli. The high-cell density reactor steady-state levels of carbon source (glycerol), biotransformation substrate (crotonobetaine), acetate (anaerobiosis product) and fumarate (as

Two proteins (CaiB and CaiD) were found to catalyze the reversible biotransformation of crotonobetaine to L-carnitine in Escherichia coli in the presence of a cosubstrate (e.g., gamma-butyrobetainyl-CoA or crotonobetainyl-CoA). CaiB (45 kDa) and CaiD (27 kDa) were purified in two

The uptake of L-carnitine by Escherichia coli 044 K74 which is able to metabolize L-carnitine to gamma-butyrobetaine under anaerobic conditions was studied. The uptake system of E. coli was induced in the presence of L-carnitine or crotonobetaine. The optimum influx

The aim of this work was to understand the steps controlling the process of biotransformation of trimethylamonium compounds into L(-)-carnitine by Escherichia coli and the link between the central carbon or primary and the secondary metabolism expressed. Thus, the enzyme

Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 51(6), 760-764 (1999-07-28)
The use of a biological procedure for L-carnitine production as an alternative to chemical methods must be accompanied by an efficient and highly productive reaction system. Continuous L-carnitine production from crotonobetaine was studied in a cell-recycle reactor with Escherichia coli
