Historically the biotransformations of cyclic enones have been important, not least Leuenberger s transformation of the appropriate cyclohexenedione into the saturated ketone (15), a precursor for tocopherol1541. Similarly 2-methylcyclohex-2-enone is reduced by the microorganism Yamadazyma fari-nosa (also known as Pichia farinosa) to give a mixture of saturated alcohols and ketone pyridinium chlorochromate oxidation of this mixture afforded 3(R)-methylcyclohexanone (95% ee) in 67% yield1551.

Under aerobic conditions, certain yeasts can convert 20 to 40% of the D-galactose they take up into galactitol, which is excreted and can be isolated from the culture medium.643 These yeasts include strains of Hansenula anomala, Pichia farinosa, Candida diddensii (polymorpha), and Torulopsis versatilis, not one of which species,... 

DNA sequence of 12 million nucleotides and 6000 genes has been determined.165 It can be used to reduce /3-ke-toesters in petrol plus a small amount of water to the S alcohol ester in 100% conversion with more than 98%ee.166 When only water is used as the medium, the enantioselec-tivity is reduced greatly.167 In contrast with baker s yeast and Geotrichum candidum,168 which produce the S alcohols from the reduction of ketones, Yarrowia lipolytica gives the R isomer, but in only moderate yields.169 Pichia farinosa also produces the R isomer.170 (For more on the preparation of single optical isomers, see Chap. 10.) Other reductions can also be carried out with baker s yeast as shown in 9.15 for the quinoline oxide.171...
