Popis: While testing the ability of cyclodextrin glucanotransferases (CGTases) to glucosylate a series of flavonoids in the presence of organic cosolvents, we found out that this enzyme was able to glycosylate a tertiary alcohol (tert-butyl alcohol). In particular, CGTases from Thermoanaerobacter sp. and Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes EM1 gave rise to the appearance of at least two glycosylation products, which were characterized by mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as tert-butyl-&alpha
D-glucoside (major product) and tert-butyl-&alpha
D-maltoside (minor product). Using partially hydrolyzed starch as glucose donor, the yield of transglucosylation was approximately 44% (13 g/L of tert-butyl-&alpha
D-glucoside and 4 g/L of tert-butyl-&alpha
D-maltoside). The synthesized tert-butyl-&alpha
D-glucoside exhibited the typical surfactant behavior (critical micellar concentration, 4.0&ndash
4.5 mM) and its properties compared well with those of the related octyl-&alpha
D-glucoside. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of an enzymatic &alpha
glucosylation of a tertiary alcohol.
