Abstract

A literature review about microbial and enzyme transformation of flavonoids was accomplished. Enzyme reactions, as well as, the action of microbial cells on flavonoids were discussed in seven distinct topics. The effects of these transformations were discussed for some reactions. The scientific literature has described that many microorganisms and enzymes possess the ability to metabolize plant flavonoids. Modified structures of flavonoids have been identified after microbial cultures or specific enzymatic reactions. Such alterations in their chemical structures, may produce flavonoids with higher biological activities (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumoral and antimicrobial).
