The direct enantioseparation of chrysanthemic acid [2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-methylpropenyl)-cyclopropanecarboxylic acid] and its halogen-substituted analogues was systematically studied by HPLC using a terguride-based chiral stationary phase in combination with a UV diode array and chiroptical detectors. Isomers with (1R) configuration always eluted before

The gene coding for a novel esterase which stereoselectively hydrolyzes the (+)-trans (1R,3R) stereoisomer of ethyl chrysanthemate was cloned from Arthrobacter globiformis SC-6-98-28 and overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The cellular content of the active enzyme reached 33% of the total
