Ganoderic acid A (GAA) is a lanostane-type triterpenoid, isolated from medicinal fungus Ganoderma lucidum, and possesses multiple bioactivities. In the present study, GAA was sequentially biotransformed by 2 recently discovered Bacillus glycosyltransferases (GT), BtGT_16345 and BsGT110, and the final product was purified and identified as a new compound, GAA-15,26-O-β-diglucoside, which showed 1024-fold aqueous solubility than GAA.
灵芝酸 A(GAA)是一种从药用真菌灵芝中分离得到的羊毛甾烷型三萜,具有多种生物活性。在本研究中,GAA 先后被两种最近发现的芽孢杆菌糖苷转移酶(GT),BtGT_16345 和 BsGT110 生物转化,最终产物被纯化并鉴定为一种新化合物,GAA-15,26-O-β-二葡萄糖苷,其在水中的溶解度比 GAA 高 1024 倍。
