β-glucosidase derived from microorganisms has wide industrial applications. In order to generate genetically engineered bacteria with high-efficiency β-glucosidase, in this study two subunits (bglAandbglB) of β-glucosidase obtained from the yak rumen were expressed as independent proteins and fused proteins in lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus lactisNZ9000). The engineered strainsL. lactisNZ9000/pMG36e-usp45-bglA,L. lactisNZ9000/pMG36e-usp45-bglB,and L. lactisNZ9000/pMG36e-usp45-bglA-usp45-bglBwere successfully constructed. These bacteria showed the secretory expression of BglA, BglB, and Bgl, respectively. The molecular weights of BglA, BglB, and Bgl were about 55 kDa, 55 kDa, and 75 kDa, respectively. The enzyme activity of Bgl was significantly higher (p< 0.05) than that of BglA and BglB for substrates such as regenerated amorphous cellulose (RAC), sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC-Na), desiccated cotton, microcrystalline cellulose, filter paper, and 1% salicin. Moreover, 1% salicin appeared to be the most suitable substrate for these three recombinant proteins. The optimum reaction temperatures and pH values for these three recombinant enzymes were 50 °C and 7.0, respectively. In subsequent studies using 1% salicin as the substrate, the enzymatic activities of BglA, BglB, and Bgl were found to be 2.09 U/mL, 2.36 U/mL, and 9.4 U/mL, respectively. The enzyme kinetic parameters (Vmax,Km,Kcat, andKcat/Km) of the three recombinant strains were analyzed using 1% salicin as the substrate at 50 °C and pH 7.0, respectively. Under conditions of increased K+and Fe2+concentrations, the Bgl enzyme activity was significantly higher (p< 0.05) than the BglA and BglB enzyme activity. However, under conditions of increased Zn2+, Hg2+, and Tween20 concentrations, the Bgl enzyme activity was significantly lower (p< 0.05) than the BglA and BglB enzyme activity. Overall, the engineered lactic acid bacteria strains generated in this study could efficiently hydrolyze cellulose, laying the foundation for the industrial application of β-glucosidase.
