Removal of O-and N-benzyl groups by fungal biotransformation - Tetrahedron Letters, 29(49), p.6393-6394, 1988 .

Biotransformation by resting cultures of the aerobic fungi Mortierella isabellina NRRL 1757 and Helminthosnorium species NRRL 4761 can be used as method for the removal of 0- and N-benzyl groups, respectively, under neutral, room temperature conditions.
