Abstract
To develop selective reduction of certain functional groups using whole cell systems in particular i) reduction of substituted alpha-keto esters using yeasts (year 1) ii) reduction of nitro groups to amines using yeasts (year 2) and iii) the reduction of carboxylic acids to aldehydes using fungi (year 3).
