Claim Text:
1. A method for the production of steryl glucosides comprising culturing an isolated, recombinant cell with cholesterol and either glucose or a sugar substrate that is metabolizable into glucose; and isolating the steryl glucosides; wherein said isolated, recombinant cell comprises a heterologous polynucleotide encoding a lipid-glucosyltransferase capable of producing steryl glucosides, fatty-acid glucosides, and phytosteryl glucosides, wherein said polynucleotide has the DNA sequence of SEQ ID NO:3 or a sequence at least 90% identical to SEQ ID NO: 3, and wherein said isolated, recombinant cell produces a heterologous lipid-glucosyltransferase capable of producing steryl glucosides, fatty-acid glucosides, and phytosteryl glucosides.
