Sulfide oxidase activity of Streptomyces genus is reported here for the first time. Three Streptomyces strains were selected as new tools to access to enantioenriched R- and S-dialkyl sulfoxides. The bacterial screening was carried out using cyclohexyl methyl sulfide as model substrate. Both sulfoxide antipodes were obtained in a one-pot, time-dependent biotransformation employing Streptomyces phaeochromogenes NCIMB 11741 as biocatalyst. Streptomyces flavogriseus ATCC 33331produced mainly the S...

The bacterial screening was carried out using cyclohexyl methyl sulfide as model substrate. Both sulfoxide antipodes were obtained in a one-pot, time-dependent biotransformation employing Streptomyces phaeochromogenes NCIMB 11741 as biocatalyst. Streptomyces flavogriseus ATCC 33331produced mainly the S-enantiomer, while Streptomyces hiroshimensis ATCC 27429 yielded enantiopure R-cyclohexyl methyl sulfoxide.
