Recombinant pyruvate decarboxylase from Zymomonas mobilis catalysed the formation of R-aromatic acyloins of high optical purity from aromatic aldehydes and either pyruvate or acetaldehyde. The results are contrasted with those obtained with aliphatic acyloins and compared with those obtained with the pyruvate decarboxylase of Saccharomyces sp.

Evidence is described that supports the view that the enzyme responsible for acyloin formation from aldehydes in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is pyruvate decarboxylase.
