Abstract
β-Glucosidase exists in all areas of living organisms, and microbial β-glucosidase has become the main source of its production because of its unique physicochemical properties and the advantages of high-yield production by fermentation. With the rise of the green circular economy, the production of enzymes through the fermentation of waste as the substrate has become a popular trend. Lignocellulosic biomass is an easily accessible and sustainable feedstock that exists in nature, and the production of biofuels from lignocellulosic biomass requires the involvement of β-glucosidase. This review proposes ways to improve β-glucosidase yield and catalytic efficiency. Optimization of growth conditions and purification strategies of enzymes can increase enzyme yield, and enzyme immobilization, genetic engineering, protein engineering, and whole-cell catalysis provide solutions to enhance the catalytic efficiency and activity of β-glucosidase. Besides, the diversified industrial applications, challenges and prospects of β-glucosidase are also described.

Deswal G, Selwal MK, Nirvan H, Selwal KK. Priestia flexa KS1: A new bacterial strain isolated from human faeces implicated in mucin degradation. Int Microbiol 2022:10.1007/s10123-022-00312-2. [PMID: 36502447 DOI: 10.1007/s10123-022-00312-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 11/29/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
The human gut acts as a habitat for diverse microbial communities, including mucin utilizers that play a significant role in host health and diseases. In this study, a gram-positive, rod-shaped mucin degrading bacterium was isolated from human faeces that belonged to the Priestia flexa species. Priestia isolate was analyzed for mucin-degrading ability and found that the KS1 strain could grow on mucin as the sole carbon source. The experimental results of the mucolytic zone around the colony and a 58% decrease in carbohydrate concentration confirmed the ability of Priestia to degrade mucin. The intracellular and extracellular glycosidase assay data supported the above results suggesting the ability of P. flexa to produce glycan hydrolysis enzymes that convert complex mucin oligosaccharide chains into simple glycans. The survival ability of the KS1 strain in simulated gastrointestinal conditions revealed that it could tolerate low pH (≥ 50% cell viability at pH 1.0) and 0.5% bile salt concentration (≥ 85% cell viability). The strain showed low hydrophobicity towards n-hexadecane (26.51 ± 0.92%) and xylene (21.71 ± 0.54%). Moreover, the KS1 culture was resistant to cefixime, clavulanic acid/ceftazidime, nafallin, methicillin, trimethoprim, kanamycin, and nalidixic antibiotic. Our results highlight the isolation of P. flexa KS1 strain that degrade mucin under in vitro conditions and show its better acclimatization within the GI environment. Further studies are required to unearth the molecular mechanisms involved in the degradation of mucin oligosaccharides in the human gut, advancing our understanding of health and disease.

Abstract
Beta-glucosidase inhibitors play important medical and biological roles. In this study, simple two-variable artificial neural network (ANN) classification models were developed for beta-glucosidase inhibitors screening. All bioassay data were obtained from the ChEMBL database. The classifiers were generated using 2D molecular descriptors and the data miner tool available in the STATISTICA package (STATISTICA Automated Neural Networks, SANN). In order to evaluate the models' accuracy and select the best classifiers among automatically generated SANNs, the Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) was used. The application of the combination of maxHBint3 and SpMax8_Bhs descriptors leads to the highest predicting abilities of SANNs, as evidenced by the averaged test set prediction results (MCC = 0.748) calculated for ten different dataset splits. Additionally, the models were analyzed employing receiver operating characteristics (ROC) and cumulative gain charts. The thirteen final classifiers obtained as a result of the model development procedure were applied for a natural compounds collection available in the BIOFACQUIM database. As a result of this beta-glucosidase inhibitors screening, eight compounds were univocally classified as active by all SANNs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the stability of proteins is of significance to maintain protein function for therapeutical applications, this remains a challenge. Herein, a general method of preserving protein stability and function was developed using gelatin films. METHODS Enzymes immobilized onto films composed of gelatin and Ethylene Glycol (EG) were developed to study their ability to stabilize proteins. As a model functional protein, β-glucosidase was selected. The tensile properties, microstructure, and crystallization behavior of the gelatin films were assessed. RESULTS Our results indicated that film configurations can preserve the activity of β-glucosidase under rigorous conditions (75% relative humidity and 37°C for 47 days). In both control films and films containing 1.8 % β-glucosidase, tensile strength increased with increased EG content, whilst the elongation at break increased initially, then decreased over time. The presence of β-glucosidase had a negligible influence on tensile strength and elongation at break. Scanning electron-microscopy (SEM) revealed that with increasing EG content or decreasing enzyme concentrations, a denser microstructure was observed. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the dry film is a promising candidate to maintain protein stabilization and handling. The configuration is convenient and cheap, and thus applicable to protein storage and transportation processes in the future.

Sci Rep 2017; 7:14850. [PMID: 29093477 PMCID: PMC5665999 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-14073-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2017] [Accepted: 10/06/2017] [Indexed: 11/11/2022] Open
Abstract
β-glucosidases catalyze the final step of cellulose hydrolysis and are essential in cellulose degradation. A β-glucosidase gene, cen502, was identified and isolated from a metagenomic library from Bursaphelenchus xylophilus via functional screening. Analyses indicated that cen502 encodes a 465 amino acid polypeptide that contains a catalytic domain belonging to the glycoside hydrolase family 1 (GH1). Cen502 was heterologously expressed, purified, and biochemically characterized. Recombinant Cen502 displayed optimum enzymatic activity at pH 8.0 and 38 °C. The enzyme had highest specific activity to p-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside (pNPG; 180.3 U/mg) and had Km and Vmax values of 2.334 mol/ml and 9.017 μmol/min/mg, respectively. The addition of Fe2+ and Mn2+ significantly increased Cen502 β-glucosidase activity by 60% and 50%, respectively, while 10% and 25% loss of β-glucosidase activity was induced by addition of Pb2+ and K+, respectively. Cen502 exhibited activity against a broad array of substrates, including cellobiose, lactose, salicin, lichenan, laminarin, and sophorose. However, Cen502 displayed a preference for the hydrolysis of β-1,4 glycosidic bonds rather than β-1,3, β-1,6, or β-1,2 bonds. Our results indicate that Cen502 is a novel β-glucosidase derived from bacteria associated with B. xylophilus and may represent a promising target to enhance the efficiency of cellulose bio-degradation in industrial applications.
