Study on the Biochemical Characterization and Selectivity of Three β-Glucosidases From Bifidobacterium adolescentis ATCC15703.

ABSTRACT: Three β-glucosidases from Bifidobacterium adolescentis ATCC15703, namely, BaBgl1A, BaBgl3A, and BaBgl3B, were overexpressed in Escherichia coli. The recombinant β-glucosidases were sufficiently purified using Ni²⁺ affinity chromatography, and BaBgl1A exhibited the best purification efficiency with a purification factor of 2.3-fold and specific activity of 71.2 U/mg. Three recombinant β-glucosidases acted on p-nitrophenyl-β-glucopyranoside (pNPβGlc) at around pH 7.0 and 30-50°C. The results of the substrate specificity assay suggested that BaBgl1A acted exclusively as β-1,2-glucosidase, while BaBgl3A and BaBgl3B acted mostly as β-1,3-glucosidase and β-1,4-glucosidase, respectively. The substrate specificity of the three recombinant enzymes was further
