Characterization of a beta-glucosidase from Bacillus licheniformis and its effect on bioflocculant degradation

Abstract Bacillus licheniformis CGMCC 2876, an aerobic spore-forming bacterium, produces a polysaccharide bioflocculant that is biodegradable and harmless. The present study determined that β-glucosidase played a negative role in bioflocculant synthesis. The gene encoding β-glucosidase was cloned an...
