Abstract
Seven fungi strains were checked as biocatalysts of lactonization of ethyl (5,5-dimethyl-2,3-epoxycyclohex-1-yl)acetate. Two of them transformed the r acemic substrate with high efficiency and enantioselectivity. Rhodotorula r ubra transformed preferentially the (-) enantiomer of substrate, whereas Fu rsarium semitectum, the (+) one. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
