The efficient asymmetric bio-synthesis of chiral  β -hydroxy esters is of great importance for industrial production. In this work, a simple and productive engineered  E.coli  cell-immobilized strategy was applied for the asymmetric reduction of MAA to ( R )-HBME with high enantioselectivity. Compared with the corresponding inactivated free cells, the alginate-immobilized cells remained 45% of initial activity at 50 ℃ and 65% after reuse of 10 times. After 60 days of storage at 4 ℃, the immobilized cells maintained more than 80% relative activity. Immobilization contributed significantly to the improvement of thermal stability, pH tolerance, storage stability and operation stability without affecting the yield of product. The immobilized recombinant  E. coli  cell had absolute enantioselectivity for the asymmetric reduction of MAA to ( R )-HBME with  e . e . &gt; 99.9%. Therefore, microbial cell immobilization is a perspective approach in asymmetric synthesis of chiral  β -hydroxy esters for industrial applications. Graphical Abstract
