A two-phase membrane bioreactor was developed to continuously produce enantiopure epoxides using the epoxide hydrolase activity of Rhodotorula glutinis. An aqueous/organic cascade, hydrophilic, hollow-fiber membrane bioreactor was used: (1) to carry out large-scale resolution of epoxides, (2) to continuously extract

Halohydrin dehalogenases (HHDHs) are valuable biocatalysts involved in the synthesis of β-substituted alcohols via their nucleophile-mediated ring-opening activity. To use directed evolution to unleash the latent potential of HHDHs for the synthesis of β-substituted alcohols, we report a high-throughput assay
