Optimization of the asymmetric synthesis of (S)-1-phenylethanol using Ispir bean as whole-cell biocatalyst

In this study, enantiomerically pure (S)-1-phenylethanol was produced via asymmetric bioreduction of acetophenone. Ispir bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) was used as an alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) source since whole cells are cheaper than isolated enzymes. Acetone powder methodology was applied for biocata...
