Sažetak
Flavonoids occur in many forms in nature (including hydroxy-, methoxy- and glycoside- derivatives). However, glycosidic derivatives are the most soluble and assimilable. Acquiring more of these compounds from plants requires the use of a large amount of solvents, while their chemical synthesis is very complicated and unprofitable. Biotransformations using entomopathogenic fungi strains allow to obtaining glycoside derivatives with high yield and keeping the principles of "green chemistry". Flavonoids are common in the plant world, where they fulfill many very important functions (including: protective against UV, function as growth regulators, fungicides, or responsible for the plant coloration). They are present in our diet and in the human body they exhibit e.g. antioxidant, antimicrobial or anticancer properties. The ability to perform glycosylation of flavonoids by entomopathogenic fungi is already well known. This process is used to increase the stability and bioavailability of flavonoid compounds. Entomopathogenic fungi strains used in the experiment come from Lower Silesia and belong to four species: Beauveria bassiana, Beauveria caledonica, Isaria farinosa and Isaria fumosorosea.
