Biotransformation of the Principal Ginsenosides of Panax ginseng Into Minor Glycosides Through the Action of Bacterium Paenibacillus sp. BG134

  • Published:
Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

The bacterium Paenibacillus sp. BG134 was capable of biotransforming the principal 20(S)-protopanaxadiol ginsenosides Rc, Rb2, Rd, and Rb1 into the corresponding minor glycosides C-Mc1, C-O, and F-2. The specificity of Paenibacillus sp. BG134 differed from that of several other microorganisms by cleaving only the terminal C-3 and C-20 β -D-glucose from their carbohydrate components.
