  • STEREO-SPECIFIC HYDROXYLATION
    Publication number: 20110190498
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the stereospecific hydroxylation of ?-amino-S-carboxylic acid derivatives or ?-amino-R-sulfonic acid derivatives to form ?-amino-?-hydroxy-S-carboxylic acid- or ?-amino-?-hydroxy-R-sulfonic acid compounds, with the hydroxyl and acid groups being trans-configured and making use of microorganisms exhibiting hydroxylase activity in a production medium to which the S-carboxylic- or R-sulfonic acid derivatives are added and hydroxylated in the microorganism in the presence of oxygen and a cosubstrate using osmotically activated transporting systems of the microorganism and subsequently released actively or passively from the microorganism so as to be obtained from the production medium.
