Screening of soil bacteria with allylbenzene resulted in a Bacillus megaterium strain, which hydroxylates simple hydrocarbons in high enantiomeric excess tee up to 99%). Benzylic and nonbenzylic hydroxylation products were obtained, without the usually observed high preference for the benzylic position. The immobilization of the B. megaterium cells in alginate gel effectively improved the stability of the cells and increased the amounts of products formed, without loss of enantioselectivity. The product ratio (alpha vs. beta hydroxylation) was shifted towards benzylic hydroxylation, which suggests that at least two hydroxylating enzymes with distinct regioselectivity are involved. Comparison to free-cell fermentations in small- and large-scale bioreactors (up to 2000 mi) showed that the use of immobilized cells is advantageous, as they are easier to handle and yield higher amounts of oxidation products.
