Microbial conversion of major ginsenosides in ginseng total saponins by Platycodon grandiflorum endophytes

Background: In this study, we screened and identified an endophyte JG09 having strong biocatalytic activity for ginsenosides from Platycodon grandiflorum, converted ginseng total saponins and ginsenoside monomers, determined the source of minor ginsenosides and the transformation pathways, and calcu...
