Abstract

Trichosporon sp. (TSL), a newly found strain isolated from a locally fermented cottage cheese has been found to be highly stereoselective in the resolution of(S)-(+)-naproxen (ee >99%, E�500) from the corresponding racemic methyl ester. The process of resolution using whole cells has been scaled up to multi-kg level. Optimization of experimental conditions including downstream processing at 80–100 g/L substrate concentration with >90% recovery has been achieved. Changes in the physical parameters such as the particle size of the substrate play an important role in the resolution kinetics. A new strain of Trichosporon sp. having high cell density in cultivation (>60 g dry cell mass L−1 in 14–16 h) is found to be sufficiently stable for two years in dry powder form at 5–8°C. The viability of the resolution process has been further improved by the development of a simple racemization process for the enriched (R)-(−)-ester.
