Organism and Process for Production of Beta Glucosidase (BGL)

Organism and Process for Production of Beta Glucosidase (BGL)

This technology focuses on a novel organism and process for the production of Beta Glucosidase (BGL), a crucial enzyme in the cocktail used for lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysis. As the rate limiting enzyme in cellulolysis, BGL plays a vital role in liberating glucose from lignocellulose, making it essential for bioethanol production from biomass. By enhancing the hydrolysis efficiency of acid cellulase by up to 30%, the addition of this enzyme significantly improves the conversion of biomass to fermentable sugars. Improving the efficiency of cellulases not only makes the production of bioethanol more economically viable, but also enhances the sustainability of biofuel production. The technology offers a promising solution for the bioenergy sector, potentially reducing the cost and increasing the accessibility of bioethanol as a renewable energy source.
