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).}, subject = {Anorganische Chemie}, language = {en} }
