## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** A process combining biocatalytic reaction and cell activity regeneration was designed for the asymmetric reduction of 3‐oxo ester. By immobilizing resting baker's yeast (__Saccharomyces cerevisiae__) in calcium alginate beads, the high yield and long catalyst life were a
