Rhodococcus erythropolis and application thereof in microbe-catalyzed preparation of chiral aromatic alcohol

The invention relates to the field of biocatalysis, and in particular relates to a streptomyces (Streptomyces sp.DUT003 with the preserving number of CGMCC2518) and application thereof in the reduction of rigid macrocyclic aromatic ketone such as substituted fluorenone. With the streptomyces, aromatic ketone, in particular the rigid macrocyclic aromatic ketone such as the substituted fluorenone can be reduced with high efficiency; products are aromatic alcohol and the aromatic alcohol with optical activity, the problems of synthesizing the aromatic alcohol and the aromatic alcohol with optical activity chemically and industrially are solved, the conversion rate can reach between 89 and 98 percent, the products have high stereoselectivity, and the ee value is between 83 and 100 percent. The streptomyces has the advantages of easy culture, mild reduction and reaction condition, simple operation steps, less environmental pollution, and good prospect of industrial application and development.
