Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo investigate the microbiological transformation of paeoniflorin and albiflorin.
METHODThe bacteria strains able to transform paeoniflorin and albiflorin were screened from 18 strains of microorganisms. The products were isolated by chromatography method and their structures were elucidated by spectral technology.
RESULTIt was found that Cunninghamella blakesleana (AS 3.970) and Syncephalastrum racemosum (AS 3.264) could convert paeoniflorin and albiflorin efficiently, respectively. C. blakesleana could convert paeoniflorin to produce albiflorin, while S. racemosum could convert albiflorin to produce paeoniflorin.
CONCLUSIONPaeoniflorin and albiflorin could be converted each other in definited condition.
