title: Enantioselective hydrolysis of o-nitrostyrene oxide by whole cells of Aspergillus niger CGMCC 0496.
abstract: The asymmetric biohydrolysis is described of o-nitrostyrene oxide with high selectivity by whole cells of Aspergillus niger CGMCC 0496. Both the epoxide and diol could be obtained in a high state of optical purity (over 98%). Product inhibition was found when using a high ratio of substrate to cells.
