Abstract:Practical applications of microbial biotransformations to organic synthesis of a wide range of important commercial chemicals is reviewed. Specific examples of recent advances in industrial applications of biocatalysis and drug metabolite production are highlighted. Major types of chemical reactions efficiently catalyzed by microbial catalysts are summarized and reviewed, with specific examples of biotransformations applied for important synthetic processes. An emphasis is given to specific practical aspects o… Show more
