Abstract
Sulfide oxidase activity of Streptomyces genus is reported here for the first time. Three Streptomyces strains were selected as new tools to access to enantioenriched R- and S-dialkyl sulfoxides. The bacterial screening was carried out using cyclohexyl methyl sulfide as model substrate. Both sulfoxide antipodes were obtained in a one-pot, time-dependent biotransformation employing Streptomyces phaeochromogenes NCIMB 11741 as biocatalyst. Streptomyces flavogriseus ATCC 33331produced mainly the S-enantiomer, while Streptomyces hiroshimensis ATCC 27429 yielded enantiopure R-cyclohexyl methyl sulfoxide.
