Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To study the synthesis of chiral precursor R(-)-mandelic acid obtained by asymmetric bioreduction of phenylglyoxylic acid. METHODS: Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains S. c. 1, S. c. 3 and S. c. 10 were selected as original strains for further higher production of chiral precursor R(-)-mandelic acid. The mutant strain S. c. 10. 2. 8 possessing effective transforming ability and almost absolute enantioselectivity was obtained using ultraviolet and microwave mutagenesis. RESULTS: Under the conditions of initial substrate concentration 20 mmol·L-1, pH 6.6, temperature 34°C, the yield and the enantiomeric excesses of R(-)-mandelic acid were 85% and 99% respectively. CONCLUSION: Biotransformaton is a potential alternative method to produce chiral precursor R(-)-mandelic acid.
