Discovery of novel highly active and stable aspartate dehydrogenases

Abstract Aspartate family amino acids (AFAAs) have important commercial values due to their wide spectrum of applications. Most if not all AFAAs are produced under aerobic conditions which is energy-intensive. To establish a cost-effective anaerobic process for production of AFAAs, it holds great pr...
