D-lactic acid and its esters are important chiral drug intermediates and chemicals. An acetyl esterase, Bae02030, from Bacillus sp. SCSIO15029 isolated from the deep sea of the South China Sea was cloned, expressed and functionally characterized. The optimum pH and temperature of acetyl esterase Bae02030 were 8.5 and 35°C, respectively. Bae02030 exhibited excellent resistance to most organic solvents and surfactants tested. Bae02030 could generate optically pure D-methyl lactate through resolution of racemic methyl lactate. After process optimization of the enzymatic resolution reactions, the addition of 60% heptane improved the enantio-selectivity of Bae02030. The enantiomeric excess of prepared D-methyl lactate was over 99% and conversion rate reached 56%. Acetyl esterase Bae02030 identified from deep-sea microorganism, as a biocatalyst, possesses great potential in the production of chiral drug intermediates in industry.
