Optically active 1,3-butanediol can be obtained by treating an enantiomer mixture of 1,3-butanediol with a microorganism or its treated one, capable of acting on the enantiomer mixture of 1,3-butanediol so as to leave (R)- or (S)-1,3-butanediol as such. Further, optically active 1,3-butanediol can be obtained by treating 4-hydroxy-2-butanone with a microorganism or its treated one, capable of asymmetrically reducing the 4-hydroxy-2-butanone into (R)- or (S)-1,3-butanediol. |
