    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain D-alanine useful as an intermediate for drugs or an intermediate for sweeteners efficiently, by cultivating specific yeast in a medium containing DL-alanine. CONSTITUTION:Yeast belonging to the genus Candida, Saccharomycospsis, Pichia, Torulopsis, Cryptococcus, Hansenula or Torycosporon, capable of assimilating L-alanine but substantially not D-alanine, is cultivated in a medium containing DL-alanine as a single carbon source and a single nitrogen source and D-alanine is collected from the culture mixture. Candida humicola ATCC36992, etc., may be cited as the yeast.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain the titled compound useful for synthesizing physiologically active compounds, by asymmetrically reducing a carbonyl compound using a reaction agent of an optically active alcohol derivative readily obtained from optically active tartaric acid, etc., with lithium aluminum hydride. CONSTITUTION:For example, an optically active alcohol derivative, expressed by formula I (R and R are alkyl, aryl or aralkyl) and obtained form optically active tartaric acid as a starting material is reacted with lithium aluminum hydride to give a complex, which is used as a reducing agent to reduce a compound expressed by formula II (R and R are alkyl, aryl or aralkyl; R and R link to form an asymmetric cyclic structure), e.g. acetophenone, and give the aimed optically active alcohol expressed by formoula III, e.g. phenylethanol. The alcohol derivative, expressed by formula I and used in the reaction can be recovered from the reaction mixture without deteriorating the optical purity and repeatedly used.
