ABSTRACT A new and efficient sulfide monooxygenase-producing strain, ECU0066, was isolated and identified as a Rhodococcus sp. that could transform phenylmethyl sulfide (PMS) to (S)-sulfoxide with 99% enantiomeric excess via two steps of enantioselective oxidations. Its enzyme activity could be effectively induced by adding PMS or phenylmethyl sulfoxide (PMSO) directly to a rich medium at the early log phase (6 h) of fermentation, resulting in over 10-times-higher production of the enzyme. This bacterial strain also displayed fairly good activity and enantioselectivity toward seven other sulfides, indicating a good potential for practical application in asymmetric synthesis of chiral sulfoxides.

(1 S) - (+)-Fenchone is sulfonated by SO3 or H2SO4/acetic anhydride in the bridgehead methyl group. This could be confirmed by NMR techniques (INADEQUATE). The fenchonesulfonic acid obtained is converted (SOCl2/NH3) to the cyclic fenchonesulfonimide, which can be oxidized to the corresponding oxaziridine, in close analogy to 10-camphorsulfonimide. Improved procedures for this reaction sequences are given. During the treatment of the sulfonic acid with thionyl chloride, a byproduct with a rearranged bicyclic skeleton is observed whose structure has been determined by ozonolytic degradation and NMR techniques. A possible mechanism for this rearrangement is suggested, based on MNDO calculations of the intermediate carbocations. The fenchonesulfonyloxaziridine oxidizes sulfides to chiral sulfoxides with appreciable enantiomeric excess, but very low reaction rate. A comparison with camphor-derived oxaziridines having similar steric requirements is made.

Objective: The paper aimed to immobilize amylase producing bacterial strain on a suitable matrix and characterization of its physicochemical properties so that much amount of amylase could be produced to be applied in different industries. Methods: Bacterial colonies were sub-cultured from samples collected from soil in freshly prepared dishes containing starch agar by dot method using sterile inoculating needles from which five different bacteria belonged to genus Bacillus were isolated and assigned as A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5. Results: It was found that A1 displayed the highest enzyme activity of 17.89 IU/ml with enzyme assay of 0.83 mg/ml and the bacterium was identified to be Bacillus subtilis. A5 displayed 10.13 IU/ml with protein contents of 0.11 mg/ml indicated that A1 possess the highest enzyme activities which were categorized under Bacillus and protein contents and A5 showed less amount of enzyme activities and protein contents as compared to other. Conclusion: The bacteria which were produced much amount of enzyme activities identified as Bacillus subtilis and recommended and have been recommended to be cultured for the production of amylase enzyme.
