Enantioselective utilization of D-amino acids by deep-sea microorganisms

Enantioselective utilization of D-amino acids by deep-sea microorganisms

Microorganisms that utilize various D-amino acids (DAAs) were successfully isolated from deep-sea sediments. The isolates were phylogenetically assigned to Alphaproteobacteria, Gammmaproteobacteria, and Bacilli. Some of the isolates exhibited high enantioselective degradation activities to various D...
