Abstract

Abstract Translated from German Es wird eine neue Glycerindehydrogase beansprucht, die Glycerin in Gegenwart eines Wasserstoffakzeptors in Dihydroxyaceton überführt, ohne NAD bzw. NADP als Coenzvm zu benötigen. Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ferner ein Verfahren zur Gewinnung der neuen, NAD(P)-unabhängigen Glycerindehydrogenase durch Kultivieren eines Mikroorganismus, der zur Bildung dieses Enzyms fähig ist, und Isolieren des Enzyms aus der Kulturbrühe. Beansprucht wird ferner eine Bestimmung von Glycerin bzw. von Triglyceriden unter Verwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Enzyms. A new glycerol dehydrogase is claimed which converts glycerol into dihydroxyacetone in the presence of a hydrogen acceptor without needing NAD or NADP as a coenzyme. The invention further relates to a method for obtaining the new, NAD (P) -independent glycerol dehydrogenase by cultivating a microorganism which is capable of forming this enzyme and isolating the enzyme from the culture broth. A determination of glycerol or triglycerides using the enzyme according to the invention is also claimed.
