Abstract

A thermostable α-l-arabinofuranosidase was tested for its ability to perform transglycosylation with different alcohol acceptors. Reactions were characterized by high rates with optimal synthesis being obtained within 10 min. Both primary and secondary alcohols could act as acceptors in transarabinosylation but yields of alkyl arabinosides decreased with increasing alkyl chain length. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
