6. Although the term "asymmetric transformation of the second order" has been used for quite some time, it is misleading and should be replaced by the correct term "...second kind". See: J. Jacques, A. Collet, S. H. Wilen, Enantiomers, Racemates and Resolutions, Wiley, New York, 1981, p. 371.

12. S - which was suitably denoted as s ("selectivity factor"), see ref. [8]. However, at about the same time, the so-called "enantiomeric ratio" (E) was introduced. The latter turned out to be a linguistically unfortunate choice of words, since it can be easily confused with the "enantiomer ratio" (er), a term for the description of the enantiomeric composition. See: K. Faber, Enantiomer 1997, 2, 411-414.

24. In situ racemization of α-substituted ketones has been frequently observed during microbial asymmetric reduction forming diastereomeric sec-alcohols. Due to the involvement of whole viable cells, substrate racemization is rather difficult to control. For examples see: A. R. Maguire, N. O'Riordan, Tetrahedron Lett. 1999, 40, 9285-9288;
