Figure 3From: Rationally re-designed mutation of NAD-independent l-lactate dehydrogenase: high optical resolution of racemic mandelic acid by the engineered Escherichia coliIdentifying the feasibility of co-production of d -mandelic acid and benzoylformic acid by E. coli expressing V108A l -iLDH. (A) Comparison of capacities for degrading l-mandelic acid of E. coli strains expressing wild-type or V108A l-iLDH. (▴) The catalytic process of the E. coli strain expressing wild-type l-iLDH; (▪) The catalytic process of the E. coli strain expressing V108A l-iLDH. (B) The catalytic process of the E. coli strain expressing V108A l-iLDH with racemic mandelic acid as the substrate. (▴) Concentration of racemic mandelic acid; (▪) Concentration of benzoylformic acid. Values are the mean ± SD of 3 separate determinations.Back to article page
