Abstract

Whole cells of Candida parapsilosis ATCC 7330 were used for the resolution of N-acetyl amino acid esters. Excellent enantioselectivities (E= 40 to> 500) were achieved for the resolution of N-protected protein and non-protein amino acid esters giving good yields (28– 50%) and high enantiomeric excesses (up to> 99%) for both enantiomers.
