RESUMO

The utilization of enzymes for organic compound transformations is an alternative to classical syntheses. Enzymes are used as biocatalysts for the syntheses in vitro of asymmetric compounds because they are intrinsically chiral and result in high catalytic efficiency. In front of the biodiversity of existing microorganisms in Nature and of the necessity to discover new biocatalysts for the syntheses of blocks of chiral constructions and of chemical products with high added value, this thesis aimed at enzymatic evaluation of oxidoreductase from microbial whole cells and their application of the production of enantiomerically pure compounds. First of all, Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO) activity was monitored using traditional biocatalytic methods. Bioprospection in 14 fungi resulted in the detection of cyclohexanone BVMO in Aspergillus oryzae CCT 0975 and Geotrichium candidum CCT 1205. The lactone (R)-(+)-1b was obtained in high enantiomeric excesses (96% and 91%, respectively) and conversion (98%). Searching for rapid screening method, multibioreaction methodology was implemented and applied to the detection of monooxigenase activity, which increased n times the amount of evaluated microorganisms per unit of time, where n is the number of added substrates. Trichosporum cutaneum CCT 1903 produced outstanding results, reducing the ortho- and para-substituted (1 and 6) methyl-cyclohexanones and oxidizing cis-jasmone (8). After isolation, identification and determination of the enantiomeric excess, the relative and absolute configuration of the cis-jasmone bioproducts were: (7S,8R)-epoxyjasmone, 12 (e.e. 92%), 7,8-dihydroxyjasmone, 13 (e.e. 53%) and (4S)-hydroxyjasmone, 14 (e.e. 86%). The enantioselectivity and substrate specificity of alkene monooxygenase in T. cutaneum CCT 1903 was further investigated using 14 substrates (24-37), applying the multibioreaction approach. Monooxygenase activity was detected in (R)-(-)-carvone, a- and b-ionones and (R)-(+)-limonene. Batch reactions of these fragrance compounds produced: (1S,2R,4R)- neoisodihydrocarveol (41), (6R)-isoprenyl-(3R)-methyl-2-oxo-oxepanone (42), (3R)- isopropenyl-6-oxoheptanoic acid (43), 2,3-epoxy-(5R)-isopropenyl-2-methylcyclohexenol (44), 4-oxo-7,8-dihydro-b-ionone (50), a-homo-cyclogeraniol (51), (R)-(+)-limonene-1,2-diol (54) and uroterpenol (55) as pure samples for spectroscopic identification (H and C NMR, H and H gCOSY, H and C HSQC, H and C gHMBC). Oxidoreductase activity was monitored using multibioreaction methodology and traditional biocatalytic methods with the fungi CCT 5632, Rhyzopus oryzae CCT 1022 and the yeast AMA 7 (substrates 8, 25-27 and 32). Thus AMA7 produced epoxyjasmone (12), 7,8- dihydroxyjasmone (13), hydroxyjasmone (14) and dihydrocarvone (45), while that R. oryzae CCT 1022 produced 14 and neoisodihydrocarveol (41). The fungus 5632 also presented monooxygenase activity confirmed through formation from 4-oxo-7,8-dihydro-b- ionone (50)
