Claims14
Process for obtaining glycerol dehydrogenase from micro-organisms, which process comprises culturing a glycerol dehydrogenase-forming Aerobacter aerogenes micro-organism in a glycerol-containing nutrient medium, culturing the micro-organism first under aerobic conditions, up to the end of the log phase, thereafter under anaerobic conditions, during which more glycerol is added to the nutrient medium than is used up by the micro-organism, and then isolating the glycerol dehydrogenase formed from the biomass or from the nutrient medium.
Process for obtaining glycerol dehydrogenase from micro-organisms, which process comprises culturing an Aerobacter aerogenes DSM 1643 in an appropriate glycerol-containing nutrient medium, and then isolating the glycerol dehydrogenase formed from the biomoass or from the nutrient medium.
Glycerol dehydrogenase with a K.sub.M value of 6.6.times.10.sup.-4 M.
Process for obtaining glycerol dehydrogenase from micro-organisms, which process comprises culturing a glycerol dehydrogenase-forming micro-organism selected from the group consisting of Aerobacter aerogenes DSM 1643 and NCIB 418 in a glycerol-containing nutrient medium, culturing the micro-organism first under aerobic conditions up to the end of the log phase and thereafter under anaerobic conditions and then isolating the glycerol dehydrogenase formed from the biomass or from the nutrient medium.
