Abstract
The p-nitrophenyl-,8-glucosidase of Aspergillus oryzae is able to transfer a glucose residue to methanol, ethanol, and n-butanol. The enzymes hydrolysing salicin and cellobiose carry out this transfer to a much less degree if at all. There is evidence that these enzymes can transfer glucose residues to other sugar molecules to build up more complex saccharides.Keywords
