Abstract
A total of 215 Streptomyces strains were screened for their capacity to regio- and stereoselectively hydroxylate beta- and/or alpha-ionone to the respective 3-hydroxy derivatives. With beta-ionone as the substrate, 15 strains showed little conversion to 4-hydroxy- and none showed conversion to the 3-hydroxy product as desired. Among these 15 Streptomyces strains, S. fradiae Tü 27, S. arenae Tü 495, S. griseus ATCC 13273, S. violaceoniger Tü 38, and S. antibioticus Tü 4 and Tü 46 converted alpha-ionone to 3-hydroxy-alpha-ionone with significantly higher hydroxylation activity compared to that of beta-ionone. Hydroxylation of racemic alpha-ionone [(6R)-(-)/(6S)-(+)] resulted in the exclusive formation of only the two enantiomers (3R,6R)- and (3S, 6S)-hydroxy-alpha-ionone. Thus, the enzymatic hydroxylation of alpha-ionone by the Streptomyces strains tested proceeds with both high regio- and stereoselectivity.
