    Abstract: A process for producing taurine. Where the taurine is produced from O-acetyl-L-serine (OAS) using biotransformation. In a first processing step (biotransformation 1), L-cysteic acid is produced from OAS using an enzyme selected from a class of OAS sulfhydrylases (EC 4.2.99.8) in the presence of a salt of sulfurous acid. Where the biotransformation is carried out under active pH control. In a second processing step (biotransformation 2), L-cysteic acid is decarboxylated to taurine. Where the OAS concentration in the batch is at least 10 g/L and the OAS sulfhydrylase is CysM.

    Abstract: Disclosed are a phosphinothricin dehydrogenase mutant, a recombinant bacterium and a one-pot multi-enzyme synchronous directed evolution method. The phosphinothricin dehydrogenase mutant, with an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID No.1, is obtained by mutating alanine at position 164 to glycine, arginine at position 205 to lysine, and threonine at position 332 to alanine in a phosphinothricin dehydrogenase derived from Pseudomonas fluorescens. The recombinant bacterium is obtained by introducing a gene encoding the phosphinothricin dehydrogenase mutant into a host cell. The host cell can also incorporate a gene encoding a glucose dehydrogenase or a gene encoding a formate dehydrogenase to undergo synchronous directed evolution to achieve double gene overexpression. The one-pot multi-enzyme synchronous directed evolution method of the present invention can screen recombinant bacteria with greatly improved activity. Compared with other catalysis processes such as the transaminase method, the method for preparing L-PPT of the present invention features relatively simple process, high conversion of raw materials of up to 100%, and high stereo selectivity.

    Abstract: An enzymatic method for the production of an L-glufosinate P-alkyl ester can be performed. This method is characterized by reacting an L-glufosinate P-alkyl ester carbamoylate to give the corresponding L-glufosinate P-alkyl ester. This is catalyzed by a carbamoylase. The L-glufosinate P-alkyl ester carbamoylate employed may be obtained by a reaction from the corresponding L-glufosinate hydantoin P-alkyl ester. This is catalyzed by a hydantoinase, preferably an L-enantioselective hydantoinase. In a second aspect, an enzymatic method for enantioselective production of an L-glufosinate P-alkyl ester from a mixture MIIIA of L- and D-glufosinate P-alkyl ester hydantoins can be performed. The L-glufosinate P-alkyl ester obtained in the methods according to the first or second aspect of the invention may be saponified to give L-glufosinate.
