Abstract
In the present invention new EDDS synthases are provided. More specifically, new polypeptides having EDDS synthase activity, methods of using the EDDS synthases to produce EDDS, methods of producing a composition comprising EDDS and methods of making the EDDS synthases are provided.
Claims18
A method for producing EDDS using a polypeptide having ethylenediamine-N,N′-disuccinic acid (EDDS) synthase activity comprising contacting fumaric acid and ethylenediamine with an EDDS synthase under conditions allowing the EDDS synthase to produce EDDS, wherein the EDDS synthase comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 87% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 1, an amino acid sequence that is at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 7, or an amino acid sequence that is at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 9.
An isolated, synthetic, or recombinant polypeptide having EDDS synthase activity comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 87% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 1, an amino acid sequence that is at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 7, or an amino acid sequence that is at least 80% identical to SEQ ID NO:
- 9.
