Abstract

Diastereoselective reduction of diketones with Lactobacillus kefir DSM 20587 was examined. The reduction of both oxo-functions proceeded highly diastereoselectively. (2 R,5 R)-Hexanediol 3 was produced starting from (2,5)-hexanedione 1 in quantitative yields with enantiomeric excess >99% and diastereomeric excess >99%. The reaction conditions were optimized: maximum yield of (2 R,5 R)-hexanediol was reached at pH 6, 30 degrees C and with equal amounts of substrate and cosubstrate. The applicability of the system in fed-batch experiments was demonstrated. The feed specific biomass concentration required to reach maximal yield and selectivity in fed-batch mode was determined.
