Characterization of a Beta-glucosidase Aggregating Factor Responsible for the Null Beta-glucosidase Phenotype in Maize (Zea mays L.)
β-Glucosidase (β-D-glucoside glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.21) catalyzes the hydrolysis of aryl and alkyl β-D-glucosides as well as glucosides with a carbohydrate moiety such as cellobiose and other beta-linked oligosaccharides. In maize (Zea mays L.), β-glucosidase exists as 120 kD homodimers, but also …

Studies on maize beta glucosidase gene-enzyme system
Maize ß-glucosidase is implicated in phytohormone catabolism, disease resistance mechanisms, and also the catabolism of various ß-D-glucosides. The enzyme expressed in maize sporophytes is encoded by a highly polymorphic locus, Glul (chromosome 10). In the present study, maize ß-glucosidase was …

Optimization of sequential purification of beta-glucosidase from tricoderma reesei in aqueous two-phase system
… for the purification of a valuable enzyme, beta-glucosidase, from microorganism Tricoderma reesei. The fungus T. reesei produces cellulose degrading enzymes, called cellulases: beta-glucosidase, endo-glucanase and exo-glucanase and low molecular weight proteins. For specific applications, …

A Comparative Study of Inductive Influence on the Hydrolysis of Beta-Thioglucopyranosides by Beta-Thioglucosidase and Beta-Glucosidase
… determine the absolute specificity of the .B-thioglucosidase and B-glucosidese enzyme systems toward the th1oglucosidic bond. The specificity of B-glucosidase of almond emulsin toward oxygen linkage seems to be absolute, since no hydrolysis was observed by this enzyme system toward the …

PLASMA MEMBRANE ASSOCIATED GLYCOHYDROLASES: KINETICS PARAMETER CHARACTERIZATION AND BIOLOGICAL FUNCTION
… assay) method able to measure the activity of beta-galactosidase, CBE sensitive beta-glucosidase, GBA2 beta-glucosidase, SMase and beta-hexosaminidases, enzymes working directly at the plasma membrane level using MUB derivates as substrate. Afterwards we applied this assays in order to study …

Characterization of Cellulase Enzyme Inhibitors Formed During the Chemical Pretreatments of Rice Straw
… is made up of endo-cellulase, exo-cellulase and beta-glucosidase enzymes, whose role is to cleave cellulose polymers into glucose monomers. Specifically, endo-cellulase and exo-cellulase enzymes cleave cellulose chains in the middle and at the end, resulting in cellobiose molecules, which are …

Demonstrating Short-term Impacts of Grazing Cover Crops on Soil Health in South Dakota
… cm and 5-10 cm depths. Grazing had no effect on beta-glucosidase enzyme activity or microbial biomass carbon. However, legume and grass blend cover crops increased the beta-glucosidase enzyme activity compared to that of control treatment. Results from this study conclude that short-term …

Gaucer Disease in the Ashkenazi-Jewish Community of South Africa
… genetically determined abnormality in the enzyme beta-glucosidase, (Brady et aZ, 1965; Patrick, 1965). The diagnosis can now be accurately confirmed by laboratory procedures, which also enable determination of carrier status. Of particular interest is the high prevalence of the condition in the …

Removal of Cyanogenic Glycosides in Whole Flaxseed via Lactobacillaceae Fermentation
… to cyanohydrins by the action of the enzymes beta-glucosidase and hydroxynitrile lyase which first cleave glucose from CG then release hydrogen cyanide (HCN) from the cyanohydrin, respectively. Hydrogen cyanide can affect mammalian respiratory systems and can also influence nutrient absorption …

Corn tissue nutrient response related to soil health and fertility
… emerged as important, soil respiration and beta-glucosidase. Multiple linear regression results when predicting yield response as a function of soil test and tissue test K produced mixed results. Yield response were best predicted using soil-test K, tissue-test K (p < 0.1). Phosphorus …
