17. Nocardia H8, EH1 and TB1 correspond to R. ruber SM 1788, 1789 and 1790, respectively. The strains were kindly donated by J. A. M. de Bont and C. A. G. M. Weijers (Agric. University of Wageningen, The Netherlands). All strains were reclassified as R. ruber (R. M. Kroppenstedt, DSMZ, Braunschweig) and they were recently deposited by us at the DSMZ. Once available, the respective strain numbers will be released immediately at .
18. Due to the absence of a stereogenic centre, the exact stereochemical nature of the attack at C(2) (i.e. inversion or retention) cannot be elucidated for this type of substrate.
19. 2 contained the corresponding expected value of 145 Da.
