“…They display different physical and enzymatic properties, show a wide variety of substrate specificities, and are mainly classified into three superfamilies, zinc-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases, short-chain dehydrogenase/reductases (SDRs), and aldo-keto reductases, based on their catalytic properties and sequence information (8,14,32). Among the various enzyme sources, Candida species are attractive as highly stereospecific oxidoreductase donors (4,13,15,16,25,30). In many cases, the stereospecific oxidoreductases from strains of the genus Candida are dissimilar in structure and classified in different superfamilies (15,16,38).…”
