| Abstract | In cell free extracts of the thermoacidophilic gram-positive bacterium Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius ATCC27009, we have identified β-gluco- and galactosidase activities showing a specific activity of 0.1 and 12 U/mg, respectively. The two enzymatic activities are associated with different polypeptides and we show here the functional cloning, the expression in Escherichia coli and the characterisation of the β-glucosidase (Aaβ-gly). The enzyme, which is optimally active and stable at temperatures above 65°C, belongs to glycoside hydrolase family 1 (GH1) and shows wide substrate specificity on different aryl-glycosides and cello-oligosaccharides with k cat/K M for 4-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucoside and cellobiose of 2,976 and 185 s−1mM−1, respectively. Interestingly, upstream to the β-glycosidase gene, we identified a second ORF homologous to the ATPase subunit of the bacterial ABC transporters (abc1) that is co-transcribed with the β-glycosidase gene glyB and that could be involved in the carbohydrate import. The activity of the enzyme on cello-oligosaccharides of up to five glucose units strongly indicates that the enzyme could be involved in vivo in the degradation of glucans together with endoglucanase enzymes previously described. This, together with the co-expression of the two genes, suggests a role for the glyB-abc1 cluster in A. acidocaldarius in the degradation of cellulose and hemicelluloses. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
