Process for the preparation of amino alcohols and derivatives thereof

摘要

The invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of (1R,4S)- or (1S,4R)-1-amino-4-(hydroxymethyl)-2-cyclopentene of the formulaeand/or of (1S,4R)- or (1R,4S)-amino alcohol derivatives of the general formulaeand to novel microorganisms which are able to utilize a cyclopentene derivative of the general formulaas sole nitrogen source, as sole carbon source or as sole carbon and nitrogen source.The invention further relates to enzyme extracts and enzymes having N-acetylamino-alcohol hydrolase activity obtainable from these microorganisms.
