Physical and chemical correlates of microbial activity and biomass in composting municipal sewage sludge.

abstract：UNLABELLED:We previously isolated the transaminase KES23458 from Pseudomonas sp. strain AAC as a promising biocatalyst for the production of 12-aminododecanoic acid, a constituent building block of nylon-12. Here, we report the subsequent characterization of this transaminase. It exhibits activity with a broad substrat...
