It was found that Rhodotorula rubra preferentialy transformed both substrates to (-)-enantiomers of trans delta-hydroxy-gamma-lactones with ee 76 percent for 3a and 24 percent for 3b. The best efficiency (20-30 percent)and enantioselectivity (ee 60-100 percent)of formation of (-)-gamma-hydroxy-delta-lactones 6a and 6b was observed for lactonization by Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium semitectum, respectively UR - https://drive.google.com/open?id=1hqan1LskkJmXUxH2Hr8tH6D73akBEddM&usp=drive_copy ER -
