Abstract
Screening a genomic library of Tannerella forsythensis (Bacteroides forsythus), using synthetic substrates conjugated to a fluorogen, 4-methylumbelliferone identified two glycosidase genes, which encode alpha-D-glucosidase and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase, respectively. The alpha-D-glucosidase has a Mr of 81,141 and is homologous to an alpha-D-glucosidase from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. The N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase has a Mr of 87,787 and is homologous to an N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase in Porphyromonas gingivalis W83.Entities:
