The stereochemical course of the asymmetric reduction of ketones by a photosynthetic microbe is largely regulated by light. Thus, we find that the enantioselectivity of the reduction of a,a-difluoroacetophenone with Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942 increases as a result of illumination with fluoresc
