Methylglucosylation of aromatic amino and phenolic moieties of drug-like biosynthons by combinatorial biosynthesis

It is revealed that the founding member of a new glycosyltransferase (GT) family from Beauveria bassiana that is not orthologous to GTs isolated from other fungi is a promiscuous enzyme that efficiently modifies a broad range of drug-like substrates, including polyketides, anthraquinones, flavonoids, and naphthalenes.
