The present invention discloses a novel method for biological reduction of the carboxylic acids to their corresponding aldehydes and/or alcohols with high productivity and high yield by using fungus in the category of basidiomycetes. This reduction is specific and selective for its functional group (-COOH), without affecting other functional group such as-R groups (- OH, -NH2, -alkyl, -alkyoxy) and their position, number on aromatic ring. The method of the invention relates to reduction of aryl acids to aldehyde and/or alcohols by employing a white rot fungus- Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, an organism of basidiomycete species, grown in vessel/ column. The biotransformation was performed in vessel/column/fermentor with pH control, dissolved oxygen, membrane system, product extractor is attached.
