The activity of beta-glucosidase towards the production of farnesol in josapine waste

Terpenes have its proven protective functions but recently researchers have found that farnesol has anti-cancer agent. The fermentation of Josapine waste using Saccharomyces cerevisiae that comprises beta β-glucosidase might enhance total content of farnesol which is useful in the biopharmaceutical...
