Abstract:
The fumarate hydratase activity of intact cells was determined for 36 strains of Escherichia coli, receiver from the All-Union Collection of Microorganisms, to reveal a producer of L-malic acid. A research was made to find optimal media for cultivating microorganisms possessing the fumarate hydratase activity. Spectrophotometric and chromatographic methods were chosen to detect malic acid in the complete reaction mixture, which are available for kinetic study of the malic acid synthesis from potassium fumarate.
