Characterization of three glutamate decarboxylases from Bacillus spp. for efficient γ-aminobutyric acid production
Abstract Background Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an important bio-product used in pharmaceuticals and functional foods and as a precursor of the biodegradable plastic polyamide 4. Glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) converts l-glutamate (l-Glu) into GABA via decarboxylation. Compared with other metho...
