A two-phase membrane bioreactor was developed to continuously produce enantiopure epoxides using the epoxide hydrolase activity of Rhodotorula glutinis. An aqueous/organic cascade, hydrophilic, hollow-fiber membrane bioreactor was used: (1) to carry out large-scale resolution of epoxides, (2) to continuously extract

Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes an epoxide hydrolase with catalytic activity that triggers degradation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and perturbs other host defense networks. Targets of this CFTR inhibitory factor (Cif) are largely unknown, but include an epoxy-fatty
