Stereospecific production of the herbicide phosphinothricin (glufosinate) by transamination: cloning, characterization, and overexpression of the gene encoding a phosphinothricin-specific transaminase from Escherichia coli.

We have cloned the gene encoding a 43-kilodalton transaminase from Escherichia coli K-12 with a specificity for L-phosphinothricin [L-homoalanine-4-yl-(methyl)phosphinic acid], the active ingredient of the herbicide Basta (Hoechst AG). The structural gene was isolated, together with its own promoter...
