| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
D-amino acids might be the presence of the shade in comparison with L-amino acids. Recently, however, it has been clarified that some D-amino acids play essential roles in the brain functions in mammals. In addition, therapeutic drugs such as antibiotics require D-amino acids as components. In this research project, potential fermentation production of D-amino acid derivatives has been investigated and its feasibility as one of the D-amino acid production methods has been evaluated. We showed the result that D-amino acid derivatives produced by fermentation method were enzymatically converted to D-amino acids.
