The strains of Aphanocladium album (isolated from insects Tenebrio molitor ) and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa reduce α,β‐unsaturated ketone groupings in (±)5‐(2′,2′,3′‐trimethy1‐3′‐cyclopenten‐1′‐y1)‐3‐penten‐2‐one, pseudoionone or in its (±) γ,δ‐dihydro‐derivative to respective saturated alcohols. The strains reduce the same carbony1 group to both alcohols in two enantiomeric 3,4‐dihydroderivatives of the first substrate as well as in () hexahydro‐analogue of pseudoionone. For all these substrates, the transformations were found to be enantiospecific.
