Abstract
β-Glucosidase converts soybean isoflavone glucosides to aglycones, and Bacillus subtilis strain Miyagino shows remarkedly lower activity than B. subtilis strain 168, when cultured in soybean-based medium. The inactivation of bglH, a key β-glucosidase-related gene, was found in B. subtilis strain Miyagino. This study indicates that the decreased bglH expression significantly affects the low β-glucosidase activity of B. subtilis strain Miyagino.
