Characteristics and potential use of β-glucosidases from Zygomycetes

Analysis of Beta-glucosidases from Zygomycetes Fungi: Purification and Characterization of the Enzyme, Molecular and Functional Analysis of the Coding Genes

Catalytic properties, functional attributes and industrial applications of β-glucosidases

β-Glucosidases are diverse group of enzymes with great functional importance to biological systems. These are grouped in multiple glycoside hydrolase families based on their catalytic and sequence characteristics. Most studies carried out on β-glucosidases are focused on their industrial applications rather than their endogenous function in the target organisms. β-Glucosidases performed many fu...

A mechanism of glucose tolerance and stimulation of GH1 β-glucosidases.

β-Glucosidases are enzymes that hydrolyze β-glycosidic bonds to release non-reducing terminal glucosyl residues from glycosides and oligosaccharides, and thus have significant application potential in industries. However, most β-glucosidases are feedback inhibited by the glucose product, which restricts their application. Remarkably, some β-glucosidases of the glycoside hydrolase (GH) 1 family ...

Construction and Characterization of Novel Chimeric β -Glucosidases with Cellvibrio gilvus (CG) and Thermotoga maritima (TM) by Overlapping PCR

It is known that β-glucosidase is very important for obtaining clean energy from cellulolytic materials such as plants and wood. For most bioconversion processes with cellulose, endo(14)-β-D-glucan glucanhydrolases and exo(1-4)-β-D-glucan cellobiohydrolases are necessary for catalyzing the random hydrolysis of cellulose to produce cellobiose. On the basis of substrate specificity, β-glucosidase...

Adsorption of β-glucosidases in two commercial preparations onto pretreated biomass and lignin

BACKGROUND Enzyme recycling is a method to reduce the production costs for advanced bioethanol by lowering the overall use of enzymes. Commercial cellulase preparations consist of many different enzymes that are important for efficient and complete cellulose (and hemicellulose) hydrolysis. This abundance of different activities complicates enzyme recycling since the individual enzymes behave di...
