Rhodococcus erythropolis WZ010 is capable of producing optically pure (2S,3S)-2,3-butanediol in alcoholic fermentation. |
1.1.1.304 | more |
the enzyme also catalyzes the stereospcific reaction of (S)-acetoin reduction to butanediol, EC 1.1.1.76 |
1.1.1.304 | more |
the enzyme shows an S-enantioselectivity in the reversible reduction of acetoin so it might be responsible of the meso-butenediol formation from R-acetoin. It acts on racemic acetoin and (S)-acetoin to form (2S,3S)-butane-2,3-diol, EC 1.1.1.76, but also on the (2R,3R)-butane-2,3-diol isomer in the reverse reaction, EC 1.1.1.4 |
