In the present study, we have investigated the use of Pichia etchellsii whole cells for synthesis of long-chain alkyl glucosides. Methyl-β-d-glucopyranoside (MG) was used in reaction with fatty alcohols, n-hexanol, n-octanol, n-decanol and n-dodecanol to synthesize the respective alkyl glucosides.

Octyl-β-D-glucopyranoside was synthesized by transglucosylation between p-nitrophenyl β-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG) and octanol as an acceptor using whole cells of thermo tolerant yeast Pichia etchellsii displaying cell wall bound β-glucosidase. Effect of several parameters such as glucosyl donor concentration, enzyme units and
