β-Glucosidase is an important component of the cellulase enzyme system. It does not only participate in cellulose degradation, it also plays role hydrolyzing to fermentable glucose by relieving inhibition exoglucanase and endoglucanase from cellobiose. Therefore, glucose-tolerant β-glucosidase with high specific activity for cellobiose might be a potent candidate industrial applications.The gene bgl that encodes 443-amino-acid protein was cloned over-expressed Thermoanaerobacterium...

Hyperoside exhibits many biological properties and is more soluble in water than quercetin. A uridine 5′-diphosphate (UDP) galactose regeneration system one-pot synthesis of hyperoside was described herein. Glycine max sucrose synthase (GmSUS) coupled with Escherichia coli UDP-galactose 4-epimerase (GalE) to regenerate from UDP. Petunia hybrida glycosyltransferase (PhUGT) high activity toward quercetin used synthesize via the system. The important factors for optimal synergistic catalysis...

Astragalin (kaempferol 3-O-glucoside) is used as a standard to assess the quality of Radix astragali and has exhibited number biological properties. In this work, we screened several UDP-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGT) for their potential efficient biocatalysts astragalin synthesis. The highest production with 285 mg/L was detected in recombinant strain expressing UGT from Arabidopis thaliana (AtUGT78D2). To further improve production, an UDP-glucose synthesis pathway reconstructed by...

Dihydro-β-ionone is a common type of ionone used in the flavor and fragrance industries because its characteristic scent. The production flavors microbial cell factories offers sustainable environmentally friendly approach to accessing them, independent extraction from natural sources. However, native pathway dihydro-β-ionone remains unclear, hindering heterologous biosynthesis hosts. Herein, we devised platform for de novo syntheses simple carbon source with glycerol. complete was...

Thermally stable α-L-rhamnosidase with cleaving terminal α-L-rhamnose activity has great potential in industrial application. Therefore, it is necessary to find a proper method improve the thermal stability of α-L-rhamnosidase. In this study, addition sorbitol been found increase thermostability from Aspergillus terreus at temperatures ranging 65 °C 80 °C. Half-life and activation free energy 2.0 M 70 were increased by 17.2-fold, 8.2 kJ/mol, respectively. The analyses results fluorescence...

Cellulose, as the most abundant and cheap renewable resource in nature, is of great importance for its utilization. An enzymatic cellulose solution, mainly containing cellobiose glucose, was utilized to produce astragalin instead recombinant strains. However, crystalline structure affects production cellobiose, resulting a low yield. In this study, microcrystalline pretreated with phosphoric acid CaCl

Fisetin is mainly extracted from Rhus succedanea L., but it also found in a variety of foods, vegetables, and herbs, commonly used dietary supplements for its health benefits. However, limited stability, low oral bioavailability, poor absorption hinder developmental applications. Methylation modification has emerged as an effective strategy to enhance the solubility, lipid solubility fisetin. In this study, we identified novel 3'-O-methyltransferase, PeCCoAOMT, characterized enzymatic...

The complete degradation of the cellulose requires synergistic action endo-β-glucanase, exo-β-glucanase, and β-glucosidase. But endo-β-glucanase exo-β-glucanase can be recovered by solid–liquid separation in hydrolysis their binding domain (CBD), however, β-glucosidases cannot because most without CBD, so additional are necessary for next degradation. This will increase cost glucose-tolerant β-glucosidase (BGL) from Thermoanaerobacterium thermosaccharolyticum DSM 571 was fused with (CBD)...
