Article Abstract
The biomass to biofuels production process is green, sustainable, and an advanced technique to resolve the current environmental issues generated from fossil fuels. The production of biofuels from biomass is an enzyme mediated process, wherein β-glucosidase (BGL) enzymes play a key role in biomass hydrolysis by producing monomeric sugars from cellulose-based oligosaccharides. However, the production and availability of these enzymes realize their major role to increase the overall production cost of biomass to biofuels production technology. Therefore, the present review is focused on evaluating the production and efficiency of β-glucosidase enzymes in the bioconversion of cellulosic biomass for biofuel production at an industrial scale, providing its mechanism and classification. The application of BGL enzymes in the biomass conversion process has been discussed along with the recent developments and existing issues. Moreover, the production and development of microbial BGL enzymes have been explained in detail, along with the recent advancements made in the field. Finally, current hurdles and future suggestions have been provided for the future developments. This review is likely to set a benchmark in the area of cost effective BGL enzyme production, specifically in the biorefinery area.

β-Glucosidase (Bgl) is a biomass-degrading enzyme that hydrolyzes cellobiose and glucose-substituted polysaccharides into glucose, playing a crucial role in enzymatic saccharification during biofuel production. Despite the wealth of structural information available on Bgl, the molecular properties of the loops above the substrate-binding pocket remain unexplored. In previous study, to better understand the molecular functions of these loop regions, four crystal structures of Bgl (TsaBgl) were determined.

Anthocyanins are bioactive compounds responsible for various physiological processes in plants and provide characteristic colors to fruits and flowers. Their biosynthetic pathway is well understood; however, the enzymatic degradation mechanism is less explored. Anthocyanase (β-glucosidase (BGL)), peroxidase (POD), and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) are enzymes involved in degrading anthocyanins in plants such as petunias, eggplants, and oranges.

Bio-conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to bioethanol fuel is a highly desirable yet challenging objective because of the low catalytic activity and high cost of β-glucosidase (BGL). Recently, ZIF-8, an emerging organic porous material, has been proposed as a promising candidate for enzyme immobilization to improve associated activity and stability. However, the underlying interaction mechanism of binding BGL on the ZIF-8 surface is yet to be clarified.
