Screening and characterization of a β-xylosidase from Bifidobacterium breve K-110 and its application in the biotransformation of the total flavonoids of epimedium to icariin with α-l-rhamnosidase

This study is the first to screen xylosidases for the targeted conversion of epimedin B to produce icariin, and the first to report that epimedin B and epimedin C in the raw epimedium flavonoids can convert efficiently to icariin by a collaborative of β-xylosidase and α-l-rhamnosidase.PMID:36706530 | DOI:10.1016/j.bioorg.2023.106364
