Abstract
Geotrichum sp. WF9101 could degrade (S)-( + )-l,2-propanediol, (S)-( + )-l,3-butanediol, and (2S,4S)-( # )-2,4-pentanediol, but not the corresponding enantiomers. An NAD(+)-linked secondary alcohol dehydrogenase purified from the strain showed the same enantio-selective oxidations towards these diols. This enzyme is proposed to be useful for the preparation of (R)-( - )-diols from the racemates of these diols.Entities:
