Biochemical characterization of a novel glucose-tolerant GH3 β-glucosidase (Bgl1973) from Leifsonia sp. ZF2019.

Beta-glucosidase (Bgl) is an enzyme with considerable food, beverage, and biofuel processing potential. However, as many Bgls are inhibited by their reaction end product glucose, their industrial applications are greatly limited. In this study, a novel Bgl gene (Bgl1973) was cloned from Leifsonia sp.
