Author:Maritz, J; Krieg, HM; Yeates, CA; Botes, AL; Breytenbach, JCDate:Oct 2003Resting cells of the yeast Rhodosporidium toruloides (UOFS Y-0471) were immobilized in calcium alginate beads for the enantio selective kinetic resolution of racemic-1,2-epoxyoctane. The initial activity exhibited by immobilised cells was ...Read more
Author:Yeates, CA; Smit, MS; Botes, AL; Breytenbach, JC; Krieg, HMDate:Jan 2007Various studies have described the optimisation of the hydrolysis of epoxides through epoxide hydrolase, however, far fewer have investigated the specific application of whole cells containing the enzyme. For this reason the enantioselective ...Read more
