Abstract excerpt
Alkyl glycosides are surfactants with good biodegradability and low toxicity, attractive to produce by an enzymatic method to get a well-defined product. In this paper, we report a novel thermostable variant of a family 3 beta-glucosidase to be an efficient catalyst in alkyl-glucoside forming reactions using transglycosylation with hexanol or octanol as the acceptor molecule. The enzyme has an apparent optimum...
