  • Title: Glycosylation of bisphenol A by tobacco BY-2 cells.
    Author: Nakajima N, Oshima Y, Edmonds JS, Morita M.
    Journal: Phytochemistry; 2004 May; 65(10):1383-7. PubMed ID: 15231411.
    Abstract:
    Tobacco BY-2 cells in suspension culture absorbed and transformed bisphenol A dissolved in the culture medium. Major products were bisphenol A mono-O-beta D-gentiobioside and the trisaccharide bisphenol A mono-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-[beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 --> 6)] beta-D-glucopyranoside. Also produced were the mono- and di- O-beta-D-glucopyranosides. As glycosides of bisphenol A lack the estrogenic activity of the parent compound, these findings enhance the possibilities of phytoremediation of natural waters contaminated by bisphenol A. .
