Biological. Under aerobic conditions, the yeast Rhodosporidium sp. metabolized p-chloronitrobenzene to 4-chloroacetanilide and 4-chloro-2-hydroxyacetanilide as final major metabolites, intermediate compounds identified include 4-chloronitrosobenzene, 4-chlorophen-ylhydroxylamine, and 4-chloroaniline (Corbett and Corbett, 1981).

Over the past 30 years, a few researchers have reported the presence of xylose isomerase in a number of yeasts and fungi capable of rapid xylose metabohsm. Because of difficulties in using genetically engineered Saccharomyces, Freer et al. [38] re-examined Rhodosporidium toruloides to see if they could confirm an earlier report that this yeast produces xylose isomerase. They reasoned that the heterologous expression of an eukaryotic enzyme could fadfitate genetic engineering of xylose metabolism in S. cerevisiae. Unfortunately, they found that R. toruloides uses an oxidoreductase system fike other eukaryotes. Other approaches, however, have been more successful. 

Rhodosporidium toruloides, 54-88% yield. A number of peracetylated glycosides were hydrolyzed selectively at the 6-hydroxyl. These derivatives when treated with acetic acid undergo acetyl migration to give the C4-deprotected monosaccharide. ...

Bulky ketones such as diaryl ketones can be also reduced by biocatalysts. For example, a rice plant growth regulator, (S )-N-isonicotinoyl-2-amino-5-chlorobenzhy-drol, was prepared by microbial reduction of 2-amino-5-chlorobenzophenone with Rhodosporidium toruloides followed by isonicotinoylation as shown in Fig. 15-42(a)1243). A phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor was also prepared by microbial reduction of a diaryl ketone 9 with Rhodotorula pilimanae, which was found by the screening of 310 microbial strains [Fig. 15-42(b)][244. ... 

Detailed structure—function analysis of PAL from the yeast Rhodosporidium toruhides and parsley has further established both the existence of the prosthetic MIO group (49) and PAL homotetrameric nature as for HAL. Furthermore, for illustrative purposes, a comparison of the 3D structures of HAL, PAL, and TAL in their apo forms is depicted in Figure 13. The binary complex of the R. toruloidesPAh (2.1 A resolution)with -cinnamic acid (3) was shown to be a homotetramer, with each monomer having a molecular weight of...
