Maczka, Wanda published the artcileBiotransformation of α-acetylbutyrolactone in Rhodotorula strains, Recommanded Product: 3-Acetyldihydrofuran-2(3H)-one, the publication is International Journal of Molecular Sciences (2018), 19(7), 2106/1-2106/11, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
Due to its structural similarity, the α-1-hydroxyethyl-γ-butyrolactone obtained by reduction of (±)-α-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone may have a similar function in the body to γ-butyrolactone (GBL). In the work presented, biotransformation of α-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone by three Rhodotorula strains was performed obtaining enantiomerically enriched alc. The process was carried out in growing and resting cultures. We studied how both media composition and organic solvent volume affected stereoselectivity and effectiveness of biotransformation. After 2 h, the enantiomerically pure (3R, 1 S)-α-1-hydroxyethyl-γ-butyrolactone was obtained using the R. marina AM77 strain in YPG (Yeast extract-Peptone-Glucose) medium enriched with 5% glycerol. To our best knowledge there is no previous information in the literature about the (±)-α-acetyl-γ-butyrolactone biotransformation performed in medium with addition of organic and deep eutectic solvents.
