摘要:
According to the present invention, there is provided a novel carbonyl reductase derived from a microbial belonging to the genus Ogataea and a DNA encoding the enzyme. By reducing ketones with the use of the carbonyl reductase, optically active alcohols, in particular, (E)-7-[2-cyclopropyl-4-(4-fluorophenyl)-quinolin-3-yl]-3,5-dihydroxy-hept-6-enoic acid esters can be produced. The carbonyl reductase according to the present invention is excellent in activity and stereoselectivity. Thus, according to the present invention, there is provided a process for producing optically active alcohols, which are industrially useful as intermediate materials for drugs, pesticides, etc.

摘要:
It is an object of the present invention to provide an inexpensive and efficient industrial method for obtaining (S)-2-pentanol, (S)-2-hexanol, 1-methylalkyl malonic acid and 3-methyl carboxylic acid at a high optical purity. The present invention provides a method of producing (S)-2-pentanol or (S)-2-hexanol which comprises allowing certain types of microorganisms or transformed cells, a product obtained by treating said microorganisms or cells, a culture solution of said microorganisms or cells, and/or a crude purified product or purified product of a carbonyl reductase fraction obtained from said microorganisms or cells, to act on 2-pentanone or 2-hexanone.
