Heterologous expression and enzymatic characterization of .BETA.-glucosidase from the drywood-eating termite, Neotermes koshunensis [PDF]

Applied Entomology and Zoology, 2007
A β-glucosidase cDNA from the termite, Neotermes koshunensis, was successfully overexpressed in Escherichia coli, and the product was purified to homogeneity by affinity purification against His-tags. The molecular weight of the recombinant enzyme was 60 kDa. The expressed β-glucosidase preferentially hydrolyzed laminaribiose and cellobiose rather than

Structural and functional analysis of three β-glucosidases from bacterium Clostridium cellulovorans, fungus Trichoderma reesei and termite Neotermes koshunensis [PDF]

Journal of Structural Biology, 2011
β-glucosidases (EC 3.2.1.21) cleave β-glucosidic linkages in disaccharide or glucose-substituted molecules and play important roles in fundamental biological processes. β-Glucosidases have been widely used in agricultural, biotechnological, industrial and medical applications.

New Parabasalia symbionts Snyderella spp. and Daimonympha gen. nov. from South American Rugitermes termites and the parallel evolution of a cell with a rotating “head”

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 70, Issue 5, September/October 2023., 2023
Abstract Most Parabasalia are symbionts in the hindgut of “lower” (non‐Termitidae) termites, where they widely vary in morphology and degree of morphological complexity. Large and complex cells in the class Cristamonadea evolved by replicating a fundamental unit, the karyomastigont, in various ways.

Characterization and phylogenomic analysis of Breznakiella homolactica gen. nov. sp. nov. indicate that termite gut treponemes evolved from non‐acetogenic spirochetes in cockroaches

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 23, Issue 8, Page 4228-4245, August 2021., 2021
Summary Spirochetes of the genus Treponema are surprisingly abundant in termite guts, where they play an important role in reductive acetogenesis. Although they occur in all termites investigated, their evolutionary origin is obscure. Here, we isolated the first representative of ‘termite gut treponemes’ from cockroaches, the closest relatives of ...
