An extracellular β-glucosidase (β-glu x) from Sclerotinia sclerotiorum was used as catalyst for the synthesis of gluco-oligosaccharides (GOSs) and alkyl-glucosides. The purified β-glu x was not regiospecific for β(1[rightward arrow]4) linkages in either hydrolysis or transglycosylation catalysed-reactions. It efficiently synthesized GOSs from cellobiose, gentiobiose and methyl β-d-glucoside by transglycosylation. At optimal conditions, 119 mg/ml of GOSs (~~33%) were formed over 9 h from cellobiose as substrate. Alkyl-glucosides were also efficiently synthesized by transglycosylation of cellobiose in presence of different alcohols in biphasic media. However, their concentrations decreased as the size of the alcohol chain increased.
