Cytophaga hutchinsoniiis a gram-negative bacterium that can efficiently degrade crystalline cellulose by a novel strategy without cell-free cellulases or cellulosomes. Genomic analysis implied thatC. hutchinsoniihad endoglucanases and β-glucosidases but no exoglucanases which could processively digest cellulose and produce cellobiose. In this study, BglA was functionally expressed inEscherichia coliand found to be a β-glucosidase with wide substrate specificity. It can hydrolyzepNPG,pNPC, cellobiose, and cellodextrins. Moreover, unlike most β-glucosidases whose activity greatly decreases with increasing length of the substrate chains, BglA has similar activity on cellobiose and larger cellodextrins. TheKmvalues of BglA on cellobiose, cellotriose, and cellotetraose were calculated to be 4.8 × 10−2, 5.6 × 10−2, and 5.3 × 10−2mol/l, respectively. These properties give BglA a great advantage to cooperate with endoglucanases inC. hutchinsoniiin cellulose degradation. We proposed thatC. hutchinsoniicould utilize a simple cellulase system which consists of endoglucanases and β-glucosidases to completely digest amorphous cellulose into glucose. Moreover, BglA was also found to be highly tolerant to glucose as it retained 40 % activity when the concentration of glucose was 100 times higher than that of the substrate, showing potential application in the bioenergy industry.
