This study evaluates the technical feasibility of biofilm-based biotransformations at an industrial scale by theoretically designing a process employing membrane fiber modules as being used in the chemical industry and compares the respective process parameters to classical stirred-tank studies. To

Starting from readily available (S)-styrene oxide an asymmetric synthesis is described of the naturally occurring anti-HIV spirolactone (-)-hyperolactone C, which possesses adjacent fully substituted stereocenters. The key step involves a stereocontrolled Rh(II) -catalysed oxonium ylide formation-[2,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of an

Selection of the ideal microbe is crucial for whole-cell biotransformations, especially if the target reaction intensively interacts with host cell functions. Asymmetric styrene epoxidation is an example of a reaction which is strongly dependent on the host cell owing to

Styrene causes toxicity in both the lung and the liver. The study of the relationship of this toxicity to the metabolism of styrene has been aided by the use of knockout mice for both bioactivation and detoxification pathways. It has

Neocarzinostatin (1) biosynthesis is proposed to involve a vicinal diol intermediate. It is reported that NcsF2, one of two epoxide hydrolases encoded by the NCS gene cluster, catalyzes regiospecific addition of H(2)O to C-2 of both (R)- and (S)-styrene oxides
