Application

(R)-(-)-glycidyl butyrate undergoes hydrolysis in the presence of lipase enzyme to form (S)-(-)-glycidol. It may also be used to synthesize 1-butyroyl 2-oleoyl-3-bromo-sn-glycerol and (R)-3-(dibenzo[b,e][1,4]dioxin-7-yl)-5-(hydroxymethyl)oxazolidin-2-one.

Metagenomics, the application of molecular genomics to consortia of non-cultivated microbes, has the potential to have a substantial impact on the search for novel industrial enzymes such as esterases (carboxyl ester hydrolases, EC 3.1.1.1) and lipases (triacylglycerol lipases, EC 3.1.1.3).
