Production of L-aspartic acid from fumaric acid by Alcaligenes metalcaligenes CCEB 312.
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.
