Abstract

This work is believed to be the first report on the physiological and biochemical characterization of --rhamnosidases in lactic acid bacteria. A total of 216 strains representing 37 species and eight genera of food-grade bacteria were screened for --rhamnosidase activity. The majority of positive bacteria (25 out of 35) were strains, and activity of the strain NCC245 was examined in more detail. The analysis of --rhamnosidase activity under different growth conditions revealed dual regulation of the enzyme activity, involving carbon catabolite repression and induction: the enzyme activity was downregulated by glucose and upregulated by -rhamnose. The expression of the two --rhamnosidase genes and and two predicted permease genes and , identified in a probable operon , was repressed by glucose and induced by -rhamnose, showing regulation at the transcriptional level. The two --rhamnosidase genes were overexpressed and purified from . RhaB1 activity was maximal at 50 °C and at neutral pH and RhaB2 maximal activity was detected at 60 °C and at pH 5, with high residual activity at 70 °C. Both enzymes showed a preference for the -1,6 linkage of -rhamnose to --glucose, hesperidin and rutin being their best substrates, but, surprisingly, no activity was detected towards the -1,2 linkage in naringin under the tested conditions. In conclusion, we identified and characterized the strain NCC245 and its two --rhamnosidase enzymes, which might be applied for improvement of bioavailability of health-beneficial polyphenols, such as hesperidin, in humans.
