Improved synthesis of (S)-1-phenyl-2-propanol in high concentration with coupled whole cells of Rhodococcus erythropolis and Bacillus subtilis on preparative scale.

Appl. Biochem. Biotechnol. 162(7) , 2075-86, (2010)

Bioreduction of 1-phenyl-2-propanone to prepare (S)-1-phenyl-2-propanol, a useful pharmaceutical intermediate, was performed with growing cells of Rhodococcus erythropolis JX-021, giving 14 mM (1.9 g/L) product in 99% e.e. at 5 h in the catalysis of 15 mM sub...
