Translation of "Transhydrogenase" in German

A process has therefore been developed (U.S. Pat. No. 4,755,467) for the microbial conversion of glucose and fructose in aqueous solution with the aid of bacteria containing glucose/fructose transhydrogenase, in particular of Zymomonas mobilis. In this process demineralized cell-free extracts, or immobilized cells, or non-growing cells washed with phosphate-free buffer are used which may have been rendered permeable, for which purpose a toluene treatment was exemplified.

Thus, a process for the microbial conversion of glucose and fructose in aqueous solution using bacteria containing glucose/fructose transhydrogenase and, in particular, Zymomonas mobilis, has already been developed and is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,755,467. This process uses desalted cell-free extracts, immobilized cells or non-growing cells which have been washed with phosphate, free buffer and which have, where appropriate, been permeabilized by a toluene treatment in 10% strength (v/v) toluene solution.
