Enzymatic Biotransformation of Balloon Flower Root Saponins into Bioactive Platycodin D by Deglucosylation with <i>Caldicellulosiruptor bescii</i> β-Glucosidase

Enzymatic Biotransformation of Balloon Flower Root Saponins into Bioactive Platycodin D by Deglucosylation with <i>Caldicellulosiruptor bescii</i> β-Glucosidase

Platycodin D (PD), a major saponin (platycoside) in Platycodi radix (balloon flower root), has higher pharmacological activity than the other major platycosides; however, its content in the plant root is only approximately 10% (<i>w</i>/<i>w</i>) and the productivities of PD...
