A1 - Tacke, Reinhold T1 - Enantioselective reduction of acetyldimethylphenylsilane: a screening with thirty strains of microorganisms N2 - Thirty strains of microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts, fungi and green algae) were tested as resting free cells for their ability to transform acetyldimethylphenylsilane (1) enantioselectively into (R)-(1-hydroxyethyl) dimethylphenylsilane [(R)-2]. The biotransformations were monitared by GC (packed OV-17 column), and the enantiomeric purities of the products isolated were determined by HPLC (cellulose triacetate column, UV detection). All microorganisms tested were found to reduce 1 enantioselectively to give (R)-2. Under the test conditions used, the yeast Trigonapsis variabilis (DSM 70714) was found to 1 exhibif the highest specific activity (1.5 mg product x g cell wet mass\(^{-1}\) x min\(^{-1}\) ), whereas the highest enantioselectivities were observed for the bacteria Acinetobacter ca lcoaceticus (ATCC 31012) (>95% ee), Brevfbacterium species (ATCC 21860) (90% ee) and Corynebacterium dioxydans (ATCC 21766) (>95% ee), the yeast Candida humico la (OSM 70067) (90% ee), the fungus Cunninghame lla e legans (ATCC 26269) (94% ee), as well as the cyanobacterium Synechococcus leopoliensis (94% ee).ยท From the green algae tested, Chlamydomonas reinhardii showed the highest.enantioselectivity (85% ee).
