Fig. 1From: Optimization of whole-cell biotransformation for scale-up production of α-arbutin from hydroquinone by the use of recombinant Escherichia coliEnzymatic glycosylation of hydroquinone by amylosucrase from X. campestris sp. campestris 8004 for synthesis of α-arbutin. Amylosucrase (Amy-1) used sucrose as glycoside donor to glycosylate hydroquinone. Amy-1 also hydrolyzed sucrose to produce fructose and glucoseBack to article page
