Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae NCYC 73 biotransforms various organosulfides to equivalent sulfoxides. Both the product yield and stereoselective o f the biooxidation are influenced profoundly by the structure of the o rganosulfide substrate. In each case the predominant enantiomer produc ed is the R-(+)-sulfoxide. No significant further oxidation of sulfoxi de to sulfone was recorded with NCYC 73.
