title: Production of L-aspartic acid from fumaric acid by Alcaligenes metalcaligenes CCEB 312.
abstract: Among 23 microbial strains, Alcaligenes metalcaligenes CCEB 312 was found to be most suitable for the conversion of fumaric acid to L-aspartic acid. In a growth medium containing 4% peptone, the strain produced as much as 50 g L-aspartic acid per litre.
