Two novel microorganisms, Acinetobacter baumanni ATCC PTA-8303 and Cryptoeoecus albiduz ATCC PTA 8302 having epoxide hydrolase activity are described. The epoxide hydrolases from these microorganisms can be used to selectively hydrolyze (via epoxide opening) one enantiomer of ethyl-3,4-epoxybutyrate in a racemic mixture by a kinetic resolution process to result in the accumulation of the other enantiomer. Methods of preparing the microorganisms and their use in a kinetic resolution process of racemic ethyl- 3,4-eρoxybutyrate are also disclosed.
