Abstract
The present invention discloses a novel method for biological reduction of the carboxylic acids to their corresponding aldehydes and/or alcohols with high productivity and high yield by using fungus in the category of basidiomycetes. This reduction is specific and selective for its functional group (—COOH), without affecting other functional group such as—R groups (—OH, —NH2, -alkyl, -alkyoxy) and their position, number on aromatic ring. The method of the invention relates to reduction of aryl acids to aldehyde and/or alcohols by employing a white rot fungus—, an organism of basidiomycete species, grown in vessel/column. The biotransformation was performed in vessel/column/fermentor with pH control, dissolved oxygen, membrane system, product extractor is attached.
