  • Method for producing optically active cyclopropane carboxylic acid
    Patent number: 5180671
    Abstract: The present relates to a process for preparing optically active cyclopropane carboxylic acid derivatives of salts thereof represented by the formula (III) ##STR1## wherein X is chlorine atom, bromine atom, methyl group or trifluoromethyl group and R' is hydrogen atom or metal ion, by asymmetrically hydrolyzing cyclopropane carboxylic acid esters having the formula (II) ##STR2## wherein X is as defined above and R is C.sub.1-4 alkyl group or halogen-substituted C.sub.1-4 alkyl group with specific strains of microorganisms or esterase derived therefrom.

  • Novel microorganism, a novel esterase and method for preparing the same
    Patent number: 4904593
    Abstract: A novel esterase (molecular weight 54,000.+-.2,000) derived from a microorganism belonging to genus Bacilus is extensively utilizable for organic synthetic reaction, especially for asymmetric hydrolysis of ethyl 2,2-dimethyl-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)cyclopropane carboxylate (ethyl permethrate), in the same manner as pig liver esterase.The microorganism suitable for production of the above novel esterase is Bacillus sp. DC-1 (FERM BP-1254).
