A thermostable D-hydantoinase from the mesophilic bacteria Bacillus sp. AR9 has been crystallized in three different crystal forms. The hexagonal faced crystals were the best looking, but did not diffract. One of the crystal forms is star-shaped and appeared to be twinned, but diffracted as a single crystal to a resolution of 2.3 A. These crystals belong to space group P6(4) and have unit-cell parameters a = b = 129.55, c = 102.86 A, alpha = beta = 90, gamma = 120 degrees.
