Enantioselective bioreduction of β-keto sulfones Curvularia lunata with the fungus

beta -Keto sulfones bearing bulky groups are reduced with high enantioselectivities to the corresponding optically active beta -hydroxy sulfones by the fungus Curvularia lunata CECT 2130; the cells can be re-used without loss of their catalytic activity. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
