Abstract
The gene coding for D-lactate dehydrogenase (D-LDH) from Pediococcus acidilactici DSM 20284 was cloned and expressed in E. coli. The recombinant enzyme was purified by nickel-affinity chromatography. It converted phenylpyruvic acid (PPA) to 3-phenyllactic acid maximally at 30°C and pH 5.5 with a specific activity of 140 and 422 U/mg for PPA and pyruvate, respectively. The K(m), turnover number (k(cat)), and catalytic efficiency (k(cat)/K(m)) for PPA were 2.9 mM, 305 s(-1), and 105 mM(-1) s(-1), respectively.
