Abstract

Corynebacterium glutamicum has been regarded as a food-grade microorganism. In recent years, the research to improve the activities of beneficial therapeutics and pharmaceutical substances has resulted in the engineering of the therapeutically favorable cell factory system of C. glutamicum. In this study, we successfully glucosylated isoeugenol and other monoterpene derivatives in C. glutamicum using a promiscuous YdhE, which is a glycosyltransferase from Bacillus lichenformis. For efficient glucosylation, cultivation conditions such as the production time, substrate concentration, carbon source, and culture medium were optimized. Our system successfully converted about 93% of the isoeugenol to glucosylated compounds in the culture. The glucoside compounds were then purified, analyzed, and identified as isoeugenol-1-O-β-d-glucoside and isoeugenol-1-O-β-d-(2″-acetyl)-glucoside.
