Two glucosyltransferases were isolated from plant cell cultures of Catharanthus roseus and Nicotiana tabacum. The enzyme from C. roseus enantioselectively glucosylated (±)-secondary alcohols to give the glucosides of (R)-alcohols, while the glucosylation with that from N. tabacum gave preferentially the glucosides of (S)-alcohols.
