A new strain, GS603, having beta-glucosidase activity was isolated from soil of a ginseng field, and its ability to convert major ginsenoside Rb(1) to minor ginsenoside or gypenoside was studied. Strain GS603 was identified as an Intrasporangium species by phylogenetic analysis and showed high ginsenoside-converting activity in LB and TSA broth but not in nutrient broth. The culture broth of the strain GS603 could convert ginsenoside Rb(1 )into two metabolites, which were analyzed by TLC and HPLC and shown to be the minor ginsenoside F(2) and gypenoside XVII by NMR.
