Abstract

In order to deprotect N-carbobenzoxy-l-aminoacids (Cbz-AA) and related compounds, a series of microorganisms was selected from soil by enrichment cultures with Cbz-l-Glu as sole nitrogen source. A lyophilized whole-cell preparation of two Arthrobacter sp. strains grown on Cbz-Glu or Cbz-Gly exhibited a high cleavage activity. The conditions of hydrolysis have been optimized and a quantitative enantioselective deprotection of several Cbz-dl- ...
