Biocatalytic synthesis of (R)-(-)-mandelic acid from racemic mandelonitrile by a newly isolated nitrilase-producer Alcaligenes sp. ECU0401

Laboratory of Biocatalysis and Bioprocessing, State Key Laboratory of Bioreactor Engineering, East China University of Science and Technology, Shanghai 200237, China

Fund Project: This work was financially supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Nos. 20506037 and 20672037).

By using acetonitrile as the sole nitrogen source, a microbial strain with high nitrilase activity, named as Alcaligenes sp.ECU0401, was newly isolated from soil, which could enantioselectively transform racemic mandelonitrile into (R)-(-)-mandelic acid, with an enantiomeric excess of >99.9%.
