Abstract: Methods for the production of L-glufosinate (also known as phosphinothricin or (S)-2-amino-4-(hydroxy(methyl)phosphonoyl)butanoic acid) are provided. The methods comprise a two-step process. The first step involves the oxidative deamination of D-glufosinate to PPO (2-oxo-4-(hydroxy(methyl)phosphinoyl)butyric acid). The second step involves the specific amination of PPO to L-glufosinate, using an amine group from one or more amine donors. By combining these two reactions, the proportion of L-glufosinate in a mixture of L-glufosinate and D-glufosinate can be substantially increased.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for isolating L-glufosinate from a composition comprising L-glufosinate and glutamate are provided. The method comprises converting the glutamate to pyroglutamate followed by the isolation of L-glufosinate from the pyroglutamate and other components of the composition to obtain substantially purified L-glufosinate. The composition comprising L-glufosinate and glutamate is subjected to an elevated temperature for a sufficient time to allow for the conversion of glutamate to pyroglutamate, followed by the isolation of L-glufosinate from the pyroglutamate and other components of the composition to obtain substantially purified L-glufosinate. The glutamate alternatively may be converted to pyroglutamate by enzymatic conversion. The purified L-glufosinate is present in a final composition at a concentration of 90% or greater of the sum of L-glufosinate, glutamate, and pyroglutamate.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for the production of L-glufosinate are provided. The method involves converting racemic glufosinate to the L-glufosinate enantiomer or converting PPO to L-glufosinate in an efficient manner. In particular, the method involves the specific amination of PPO to L-glufosinate, using L-glutamate, racemic glutamate, or another amine source as an amine donor. PPO can be obtained by the oxidative deamination of D-glufosinate to PRO (2-oxo-4-(hydroxy(methyl)phosphinoyl)butyric acid) or generated via chemical synthesis. PPO is then converted to L-glufosinate using a transaminase in the presence of an amine donor. When the amine donor donates an amine to PPO, L-glufosinate and a reaction by product are formed. Because the PPO remaining represents a yield loss of L-glufosinate, it is desirable to minimize the amount of PPO remaining in the reaction mixture.
