title: [Studies on the semi-biosynthesis of L-ephedrine (I). Studies on the biosynthesis of L-phenyl acetyl carbinol].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The optimal biosynthesis of L-PAC by immobilized Sc-5 yeast cell was systematically studied in this paper.
  
  
  METHODS
  Biosynthesis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The average of L-PAC yield produced by the immobilized Sc-5 yeast cell is > or = 2 g.L-1 and half life > or = 240 h.
