The transformation of major ginsenosides to minor ginsenosides by microorganisms was considered to be an environmentally friendly method. Compared with GRAS (generally recognized as safe) strains, non-food-grade microorganisms could transform polar ginsenosides to various minor ginsenosides. In this study, screened from the rhizosphere was capable of transforming PPD-type and PPT-type ginsenosides in the underground parts of to 18 minor ginsenosides.
