Production Of L-Phenyl Acetyl Carbinol Through Biotransformation Of Benzaldehyde By Free And Immobilized Yeast Cells

M.Lakshmi Narasu, M.Ravi Kumar, M.Adharvana Chari

Novel strains of yeast from natural sources like fruits for biotransformation studies were investigated. In our experiments the L-PAC product obtained from benzaldehyde through biotransformation of benzaldehyde by free and immobilized cells of the yeast of different strains has been attempted and results were compared. Free and immobilized cells of all isolates were prepared and studied for their bioconversion potential in molasses medium. Free cells of all isolates showed slight increase in percentage bioconversion than immobilised cells.
