| Bioactivity | D-(+)-Malic acid (D-Malic acid), an active enantiomer of Malic acid, is a competitive inhibitor of L(--)malic acid transport[1]. |
| Invitro | Some bacteria belonging to Arthrobacter, Brevibacterium, Corynebacterium, Pseudomonas, Bacillus, and Acinetobacter produced D-(+)-Malic acid (D-Malic acid) from Maleic acid when the cells grown in a medium containing citraconic acid are reacted aerobically with Maleic acid in the pH 7.0 phosphate buffer containing 0.1% sodium chloride[2]. |
