Stereospecific Reduction of Ethyl 2′ -Ketopantothenate to Ethyl D-(+)-Pantothenate with Microbial Cells as a Catalyst

A novel enzymatic process for the synthesis of D-(+)-pantothenic acid through the asymmetric reduction of the 2′ -ketopantothenate ester is described. Candida macedoniensis AKU 4588 was found to convert ethyl 2′ -ketopantothenate (80 mg/ml) almost specifically to ethyl D-(+)-pantothenate (>98% en...
