Abstract
The application of biocatalysts in organic synthesis has grown significantly in recent years, and both academia and industry are continuously searching for novel biocatalysts capable of performing challenging chemical reactions. Mushroom is a rich source of ligninolytic and secondary metabolite biosynthetic enzymes, and therefore was consider as promising biocatalysts for organic synthesis. This review focused on the broad utilization potential of the mushroom-based biocatalysts and highlights key advances in mushroom-mediated organic transformations. It mainly includes reduction of ketone and carboxylic acids, hydroxylation of aromatic and aliphatic compounds, epoxidation of olefin, oxidative cleavage of alkene, and other uncommon reactions catalyzed by the whole-cells or purified enzymes of mushroom-origin. Overall, a comprehensive overview of the applications of mushroom as biocatalyst in organic synthesis is provided, which puts this versatile microorganism in the spotlight of further research.
