Biotransformation of zerumbone by Caragana chamlagu

“…From the viewpoint of ''green chemistry'', biocatalysts have been used for the transformation of natural or artificial substrates into useful compounds (Flitsch et al 2002). We have developed particularly the use of plant cultured cells for the biotransformation of natural products such as thujopsene (Sakamaki et al 2001), ionone (Sakamaki et al 2004) and valencene and unnatural substrates such as 1,2-diketone (Chai et al 2003a), bisphenol-A (Chai et al 2003b) and 3-acetylisoxazoles .…”

Stereoselective oxidation of racemic 1-arylethanols by basil cultured cells of Ocimum basilicum cv. Purpurascens

“…In the biological approaches using biocatalysts, optically active alcohols have been prepared by following methods: reduction (Nakamura and Matsuda 2006), kinetic resolution by esterification (Ghanem 2007), oxidation (Nakamura et al 2001) and hydroxylation (Flitsch et al 2002).…”
