Benzohydroxamic acids, such as DIBOA, exhibit interesting biological properties (herbicidal, fungicidal and bactericidal). Recently, the synthesis of DIBOA has been simplified to only two steps. This paper explores the possibility of replacing the second stage in the chemical synthesis of D-DIBOA by a biotransformation using a strain of Escherichia coli and a strain of Serratia marcescens. Biotransformation experiments were carried out for both strains in ...
