Bioremediation of Bisphenol A by Glycosylation with Immobilized Marine Microalga Amphidinium crassum ——Bioremediation of Bisphenol a by Immobilized Cells

Abstract

Glycosylation of bisphenol A, which is an endocrine disrupting chemical, was investigated using immobi-lized marine microalga and plant cells from the viewpoint of bioremediation of bisphenol A. Immobilized marine microalga of Amphidinium crassum glucosylated bisphenol A to the corresponding glucoside. On the other hand, bisphenol A was glycosylated to its glucoside, diglycoside, gentiobioside, and gentiobiosylgluco-side, which was a new compound, by immobilized plant cells of Catharanthus roseus.
