| Summary: | Different aspects of biocatalysis are discussed with a view to obtaining products in a practical way using microorganisms and enzymes in catalytic amounts but as if they were organic reagents. A limited number of reactions catalysed by microbial reagents have been examinded according to the following classes: <em>C-C bond formation</em>, including the reaction catalyzed by aldolases, enantiomeric oxynitrilases, and decarboxylases. <em>Oxidations</em> promoted by microorganisms leading to Bayer-Williger-type products and hydroxylation at saturated carbon also includes the production of synthons derived from the microbial oxidation of substituted aromatics of wide synthetic applications. <em>Reductions</em> of carbonyl group with yeasts and other microorganisms, including the factor affecting the stereoselectivity when using all-cell organisms. <br/> <em>Group transfer reactions</em> describes synthetic achievements and theoretical aspects concerning the use of lipases, esterases and acylases. <em>Industrial applications</em> of microbial reagents in the large-scale production of fine chemicals offers validation to the basic research in the field. <br/> |
