title: Use of whole cell culture of Aeromonas sp. as enantioselective scavenger: a facile preparation of l-amino acid derivatives in high enantiomeric excess.
abstract: The bacterium Aeromonas sp. (CGMCC 2226) can enantioselectively scavenge D-isomer, making L-amino acid derivatives (AADs) in high ee. The enantioselective scavenger (ES) has shown a broad substrate scope. Eleven L-AADs, Phe derivatives substituted with methyl-, mono- and dichloro-, bromo-, and nitro-group, were produced in high ee from corresponding racemates.
