Abstract
Recombinant pyruvate decarboxylase from Zymomonas mobilis catalysed th e formation of R-aromatic acyloins of high optical purity from aromati c aldehydes and either pyruvate or acetaldehyde. The results are contr asted with those obtained with aliphatic acyloins and compared with th ose obtained with the pyruvate decarboxylase of Saccharomyces sp.
