Toxoplasmosis is a neglected disease that represents a significant public health problem. The antigenic profile of is complex, and the immune response can lead to either susceptibility or resistance. Some antigens, such as surface antigen glycoprotein (SAG), are expressed on the surface of tachyzoite stages and interact with the host immune cells.

Thus, the aim of the current study is to produce a recombinant β-glycosidase from expressed in cells. Enzyme coding sequence expression was confirmed through Sanger sequencing after using wheat bran (WB) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as fungal growth media.

During the harvest and processing of cocoa beans, they are subjected to fermentation either by microorganisms present in the environment (spontaneous fermentation) or the addition of starter cultures, with different strains directly contributing distinct flavor and color characteristics to the beans. In addition to fungi and bacteria, viruses are ubiquitous and can affect the quality of the fermentation process by infecting fermenting organisms, destabilizing microbial diversity, and consequently affecting fermentation quality.

Therefore, the apoplast of can provide important defense responses during the interaction with .
