Abstract

Fungi of the Beauveria spp., typified by Beauveria bassiana ATCC 7159, are among the most frequently used whole cell biocatalysts. They have been reported to catalyse many different reactions, including oxidative, reductive and hydrolytic transformations, of a wide range of substrates. This review covers the range and application of biocatalytic reactions of Beauveria spp., with emphasis on the scope and utility of Beauveria-catalysed reactions for preparative biotransformations.
