Although asymmetric reduction of cyclohexyl(phenyl)methanone (1) by chemical catalysts is common, a biocatalytic asymmetric reduction is extremely rare. In this respect, we report herein that Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides N13 was successfully employed as a biocatalyst to reduce 1 to (S)-cyclohexyl(phenyl)methanol ((S)-2). Furthermore, the use of a mathematical optimization strategy for asymmetric reduction of substrate 1 is not known in the current literature. The new distance-based design-focused optimization model was used to enhance the conversion of the substrate, enantiomeric excess (ee) of product, and yield. The distance-based design-focused optimization model identified the following optimal bioreduction conditions: pH=6.46, temperature=30°C, incubation period=72 hours, and agitation speed=199 rpm. Then it was stated that under these ideal conditions, (S)-2 may be produced with 99 % ee and 98.46 % conversion rate (cr). (S)-2 was achieved with 99% ee, and 99% cr as a consequence of the experimental reaction carried out under the indicated optimization conditions. It has been shown that Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides N13 can be utilized as a biocatalyst in asymmetric reduction reactions. This study, in addition to being the first example of a bioreduction of substrate 1 by mathematical optimization, also demonstrates for the first time the distance-based design-focused model can be used in the bioreduction reaction.</dc:description><dc:publisher>Elsevier B.V.</dc:publisher><dc:date>2022</dc:date><dc:type>Article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/bayburt/13544</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mcat.2022.112474</dc:identifier><dc:identifier>2468-8231</dc:identifier><dc:language>en</dc:language><dc:relation>Molecular Catalysis</dc:relation><dc:rights>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess</dc:rights><dc:type>info:eu-repo/semantics/article</dc:type><dc:identifier>https://bayburt-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/bayburt/13544</dc:identifier></oai_dc:dc></metadata></record></GetRecord></OAI-PMH>
