Abstract

A 43.kDa β-xylosidase from Clostridium cellulolyticum was purified to homogeneity. The enzyme releases xylose from p-nitrophenylxylose and xylodextrins with a degree of polymerization ranging between 2 and 5. The N- terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme showed homologies with three other bacterial β-xylosidases. By proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the enzyme was found to act by inverting the β-anomeric configuration.
