To prepare (S)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol by a one-step method, we constructed an enzyme coupled system consisting of (R)- and (S)-specific carbonyl reductases in Escherichia coli. The genes coding (R)- and (S)-specific carbonyl reductases from Candida parapsilosis were inserted into a co-expression vector
