D. Bianchi et al., SELECTIVE ENZYMATIC-HYDROLYSIS OF AROMATIC DIESTERS USING ESTERASE FROM BREVIBACTERIUM-IMPERIALE B222, Biotechnology letters, 17(7), 1995, pp. 711-716
A practical procedure has been developed for the chemoselective microb
ial hydrolysis of aromatic dicarboxylic esters to give the correspondi
ng monoesters, using cellular lysate and whole cell of Brevibacterium
imperiale B222, The produced monoesters can be transformed into hydrox
yacids, useful intermediates in the synthesis of polyesters.
