摘要：

Asymmetric bioreduction of (E/Z)-3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal (citral) using the enoate reductase activity of whole cells of yeasts, bacteria and fungi, gave the alpha,beta-saturated aldehyde (R)-3,7-dimethyl-6-octenal (citronellal), which constitutes an important flavour component, in up to >= 95% ee. Depending on the microorganism, various amounts of prim-alcohols (nerol/geraniol and citronellol) were formed due to the action of competing prim-alcohol dehydrogenases. Citral lyase activity-leading to the loss of a C-2-fragment (acetaidehyde) forming sulcatone-and oxidation of the aldehyde moiety yielding the carboxylic acid (geranic/neric acid) were detected as additional metabolic activities.
