The fungus Mucor circinelloides exhibits high potential for green chemistry and technological applications. Recently M. circinelloides, which so far was considered mainly as a platform for biodiesel production, was found to exhibit high ene-reductase activity. In our current research we applied this promising microorganism to the biotransformation of a series of alpha,beta-unsaturated gamma-ketophosphonates. The biotransformations were conducted using cheap corn steep liquor or minimal media. The products were obtained with excellent enantiomeric purity (> 99% ee in most cases) and in good isolated yields, highlighting the great potential of this microorganism for asymmetric synthesis. Moreover, the products obtained may be further applied as chiral building blocks for the synthesis of biologically active compounds, such as glutamic acid or fosmidomycin derivatives.
