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
