Enhanced Bacterial Growth and Gene Expression of D-Amino Acid Dehydrogenase With D-Glutamate as the Sole Carbon Source

In a search for life-supporting, not life-assisting, D-amino acid metabolism, an environmental strain that grows better with D-glutamate as the sole carbon source was isolated from an ordinary river. The strain, designated as A25, exhibited a faster growth rate and greater cell yield with D-glutamat...
