Z. Naturforsch.55 c,560Ð568 (2000); received February 22/March 10, 2000 Zygosaccharomyces bisporus, Acyloin Formation, Pyruvate Decarboxylase

The wild-type yeast strain Zygosaccharomyces bisporus CBS 702 produced α-hydroxy- ketones (acyloins) from amino acid precursors after transamination to the corresponding 2-oxo acids. The key enzyme of the subsequent decarboxylation and CÐC bond forming reaction, pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC), was examined for its substrate- and stereo-specific- ity. A wide variety of saturated and unsaturated aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes was suc- cessfully converted to acyloins. 19 of the biotransformation products identified had not been reported as natural substances before. Product yields were strongly affected by substrate structure.
