ABSTRACT
This research aimed to select yeast strains capable of the biotransformation of selected 2'-hydroxybromochalcones. Small-scale biotransformations were carried out using four substrates obtained by chemical synthesis (2'-hydroxy-2â³-bromochalcone, 2'-hydroxy-3â³-bromochalcone, 2'-hydroxy-4â³-bromochalcone and 2'-hydroxy-5'-bromochalcone) and eight strains of non-conventional yeasts. Screening allowed for the determination of the substrate specificity of selected microorganisms and the selection of biocatalysts that carried out the hydrogenation of tested compounds in the most effective way. It was found that the position of the bromine atom has a crucial influence on the degree of substrate conversion by the tested yeast strains. As a result of the biotransformation of the 2'-hydroxybromochalcones, the corresponding 2'-hydroxybromodihydrochalcones were obtained. The products obtained belong to the group of compounds with high potential as precursors of sweet substances.
