AbstractProperties of beta-glucosidase produced by Aspergillus niger URM 6642 recently isolated from the Atlantic rainforest biome and its potential tolerance to saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass products and fermentation inhibitors was evaluated. The fungus was cultivated under solid state culture conditions at 37°C with different agro-industrial wastes. High levels of beta-glucosidase (3778.9 U g

Beta-glucosidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the glycosidic bonds of cellobiose, resulting in the production of glucose, which is an important step for the effective utilization of cellulose. In the present study, a thermostable β-glucosidase was isolated and purified from the Thermoprotei Thermofilum sp. ex4484_79 and subjected to enzymatic and structural characterization. The purified β-glucosidase (TsBGL) exhibited maximum activity at 90°C and pH 5.0 and displayed maximum specific activity of 139.2μmol/min/mgzne against p-nitrophenyl β-D-glucopyranoside (pNPGlc) and 24.3μmol/min/mgzen against cellobiose. Furthermore, TsBGL exhibited a relatively high thermostability, retaining 84 and 47% of its activity after incubation at 85°C for 1.5h and 90°C for 1.5h, respectively. The crystal structure of TsBGL was resolved at a resolution of 2.14Å, which revealed a classical (α/β)8-barrel catalytic domain. A structural comparison of TsBGL with other homologous proteins revealed that its catalytic sites included Glu210 and Glu414. We provide the molecular structure of TsBGL and the possibility of improving its characteristics for potential applications in industries.
