Levilactobacillus (L.) brevis TMW 1.2112 is an isolate from wheat beer that produces O2-substituted (1,3)-β-D-glucan, a capsular exopolysaccharide (EPS) from activated sugar nucleotide precursors by use of a glycosyltransferase. Within the genome sequence of L. brevis TMW 1.2112 enzymes of the glycoside hydrolases families were identified. Glycoside hydrolases (GH) are carbohydrate-active enzymes, able to hydrolyse glycosidic bonds. The enzyme β-glucosidase BglB (AZI09_02170) was heterologous expressed in Escherichia coli BL21. BglB has a monomeric structure of 83.5 kDa and is a member of the glycoside hydrolase family 3 (GH 3) which strongly favoured substrates with β-glycosidic bonds. K m was 0.22 mM for pNP β-D-glucopyranoside demonstrating a high affinity of the recombinant enzyme for the substrate. Enzymes able to degrade the (1,3)-β-D-glucan of L. brevis TMW 1.2112 have not yet been described. However, BglB showed only a low hydrolytic activity towards the EPS, which was measured by means of the D-glucose releases. Besides, characterised GH 3 β-glucosidases from various lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were phylogenetically analysed to identify connections in terms of enzymatic activity and β-glucan formation. This revealed that the family of GH 3 β-glucosidases of LABs comprises most likely exo-active enzymes which are not directly associated with the ability of these LAB to produce EPS.
