The isolation and characterisation of thermostable hydantoinases from hydantoinase-producing bacteria

In order to characterise thermostable hydantoin-hydrolysing enzymes from bacteria, locally-isolated thermophilic organisms were screened for the ability to convert hydantoin to N-carbamylglycine at 55°C using the hydantoinase enzyme. Cell disruption of a selected strain, RU-20-15, was conducted by F...
