The N‐carbamoyl‐d‐amino acid amidohydrolase (d‐carbamoylase) gene from Agrobacterium radiobacter NRRL B11291 has been successfully cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. Subcloning of the d‐carbamoylase gene into different types of vectors and backgrounds of E. coli strains showed that the optimal expression level of d‐carbamoylase was achieved in a ColE1‐derived plasmid with a 150‐fold increase in specific enzyme activity compared to that in a pSC101‐derived plasmid. In addition, the recombinant plasmids were very stable in the E. coli strain ATCC11303 but not in JCL1258 tested here. Employing the recombinant E. coli strain DH5α/pAH61 for d‐p‐hydroxyphenylglycine production showed that the cell was capable of transforming N‐carbamoyl‐d‐hydroxylphenylglycine to d‐p‐hydroxyphenylglycine with a molar conversion yield of 100% and a production rate of 1.9 g/(L h). In comparison with A. radiobacter NRRL B11291, this productivity approximates a 55‐fold increase in d‐hydroxyphenylglycine production. This result suggests the potential application of recombinant E. coli strains for the transformation reaction.
