Abstract excerpt
In the plant pathogen Streptomyces scabies, the gene bglC encodes a GH1 family cellobiose beta-glucosidase that is both required for primary metabolism and for inducing virulence of the bacterium. Deletion of bglC (strain ΔbglC) surprisingly resulted in the augmentation of the global beta-glucosidase activity of S. scabies. This paradoxical phenotype is highly robust as it has been observed in all bglC deletion...
