Enantioselective hydrolysis of various substituted styrene oxides with Aspergillus Niger CGMCC 0496†
Abstract
Enantioselective biohydrolysis of various substituted styrene oxides using whole fungus cells of Aspergillus nigerCGMCC 0496 are described. The results show not only para- but also some ortho- substituted styrene oxides can achieve high enantioselectivity during the hydrolysis.
