Fungal Species: Rhodotorula glutinis

Biotransformation of α-Acetylbutyrolactone in Rhodotorula Strains

This research explored using different types of yeast to transform one chemical compound into another with very specific 3D structures. This is important because the specific 3D shape of molecules can affect how they work in medicines and other applications. Impacts on everyday life: • Helps develop more efficient and environmentally friendly ways to make pharmaceutical compounds • Advances our understanding of how to produce pure forms of medicines with fewer side effects • Demonstrates sustainable alternatives to traditional chemical manufacturing processes • Could lead to improved production methods for various medical and industrial compounds • Shows potential for using natural organisms instead of harsh chemicals in manufacturing
