Abstract
Thermoalkalophilic lipases from Geobacillus and Bacillus strains have been cloned and characterised, several of which show excellent activity and enantioselectivity towards various substrates. The hydrolysis of methyl 2-methyldecanoate proceeds to give (R)-2-methyldecanoic acid in good yield and >99% enantiomeric excess (E>200).
