title: Microbial resolution of DL-glyceric acid for L-glyceric acid production with newly isolated bacterial strains.
abstract: To produce L-glyceric acid (L-GA) from DL-GA, microbial resolution was investigated using newly isolated bacterial strains capable of enantiospecific degradation of D-GA. Strains GA3R and GA72P, identified as Serratia and Pseudomonas species, respectively, exhausted D-GA within 72 h, resulting in production of L-GA with enantiomeric purity ≥89%.
